The Day Of Fools is a Vancouver tradition - a homegrown display 
of absurd dress, notions and behaviour - and the public is invited 
to join the fun, in or out of costume!

The revered (26th annual) spectacle, featuring floats, stiltwalkers, 
Human Beings In Silly Costumes, and major hoopla, also serves as 
the public election of our annual "Fool of the Year".

This year¹s nominees (prudently selected by Vancouver¹s official 
Fools' Day Committee) are to include: 

     Stephen Harper, 
     Marc Emery,
     David Emerson, 
     Sam Sullivan,
     Paris Hilton,
     George Clooney, 
     Dick Cheney, 
     Christy Clark, 
     and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Competition for the Crown is furious, and hopefuls vie for dominance 
after grueling weeks of floor crossing, belly flopping, tongue twisting 
and pie throwing.

April Fool¹s Day is also the premature climax of Vancouver¹s annual 
³Foolishness Week², as proclaimed by the City for April 1st to 8th 
(see the documents at www.fools-society.com).

During this holiday observance, mirth, havoc, and nonsense reign 
supreme for one entire week! Given such sweeping 'Foolish License', 
authorities are cautioned to be on guard as of April 1st, as 
the whipped cream will fly thick and fast.

For security reasons, anyone wishing to attend the election at 
its new, top-secret location must register via the website. Though 
the Committee is sworn to secrecy, spokesfool Godfrey Daniels 
gave a hint of revelations to come as he quipped, "we will spare 
no humiliation to ensure our place in the international spotlight".
