Holiday symbols at Grand Army Plaza
Historically, the Parks department has erected a Christmas tree at Grand Army plaza, but it did not this year due to lack of funds.
The Lubavitch folks use their own funds to put up a snazzy Menorah there.
Next year, Christians may be in the same situation.
I see no reason why those of us who celebrate Festivus should not fundraise for a giant, beautiful Festivus pole to join the mix.
I wouldn't ask to be in the middle of the arch. ...I think we could share space with a Kwanzaa display.

LOL!! That would be awesome!

I wonder if the Lubavich get a permit, or whether they just put up the display.
I wonder if they would be willing to give me advice on my quest.
-
If you notice that Mayor Mike Bloomerg is the one lighting that candle, im fairly sure you can guess if they have a permit or not...

So noted:
I will investigate getting a permit.
I will also begin recruiting people to run a puppet show for the kids.
Howdy, Stranger!
