Changing Seasons, Changing Activities

It's almost Spring!

The seasons affect what clothes we wear and what activities we do. We are approaching Spring and that means blooming flowers, warming weather, and new Amazing New York Races!

The groundhog's shadow isn't the only thing predicting the date of the upcoming season. The seasons are predicted by tracking the rising and setting points of the sun throughout the year. This practice is dated back to ancient times of Mayans and Babylonians! Because the sun is our source of light, energy and heat, the changing intensity and concentration of its rays give rise to the seasons of winter, spring, summer and fall.

After March, POGO Events will present New Yorkers with new and exciting races such as bar crawls, movie trivia, and desserts!

Many of the NYC subways include underground art, colorful installations, and unique sculptures. Take a chance to appreciate the underground world of New York City by strolling through the subway stations or learning a bit about the underground life on one of our “Underground” Amazing New York Race’s.
