Council Candidate Dan Halloran took to Bowne Park with his mantle Great Dane Dasher to join State Senator Frank Padavan at the Annual Bowne Park Civic Concert. Together with hundreds of local residents, and wonderful sunny weather, the festivities and concert were one more success for the civic organization and its community, which benefited from the many hours of fun and great music.
Halloran, who grew up in the area, and owns a home a block from the park, is a frequent visitor to the park with his two Great Danes, Dasher and Daisy; the two dogs are gentle giants and well known in the Park as “canine good citizens”. The Halloran family has bred and shown Great Danes for three generations, having champion lines since the 1960’s. State Senator Padavan who co-sponsored the event at the park enjoyed the company of Dan and Dasher, and was seen playing with Dasher and quipped “all that Dasher needs is a saddle to give the kids pony-rides.”
Halloran commended president of the Bowne Park Civic Association, Wanda Beck Antosh, and her efforts on behalf of the neighborhood, which is his home civic. “The Bowne Park Civic has been and continues to be a bright spot in the history of this historic park, the roots of which stretch back to Mayor Walter Bowne, descendant of John Bowne, a founder of Religious Freedom in Flushing, and his great contributions to our community” Halloran said. “This event draws our community together and reminds us of our connection to each other and our green-spaces.”
