“This is really a fantastic event. The turnout of participants is outstanding and everybody is having a good time. Even the weather cooperated,” American Red Cross NMI chapter executive director John Hirsh told the Variety.
“This is a night where you can see people relax and enjoy under their masks and costumes,” he said.
