Clay, Dale and I were live at the Broadway Market on Thursday and Bernadette Pawlak was gracious enough to stop by and chat about the famous Dyngus Day Parade.

UPDATE: Whoops -- turns out this was a prank! Kudos to the perpetrator -- you totally got me! It's been a year since Anderson Cooper thought it was a joke that Buffalo is the home of the biggest Dyngus Day party in North America.
