SYRACUSE -- If you love animals, like I do, then you’ll want to attend the first annual Canine Carnival at the Wegmans Good Dog Park in Liverpool this Saturday August 7th from 10am – 2pm.
ADMISSION IS FREE! Rain or shine (and right now the weather looks fantastic). Be sure to bring your pets, but have them on a leash. It’s also the 10th anniversary of the Good Dog Park, so another reason to celebrate!
You won’t believe the variety of fun things we’ll have going on for this fun event. More than a dozen vendors of animal products, more than 25 animal rescue and adoption organizations, dozens of pets for adoption, music, a wide variety of food and drinks, games, tons of prizes, an auction, face painting, balloons, VIP and celebrity dog walkers and a whole lot more! Wegmans is the primary sponsor for our event and CNYcentral is our media sponsor, and I sure appreciate everything both companies have done. They obviously both really care about central and are heavily involved in the community.
PARKING: You may park almost anywhere within Longbranch Park, even down into the Willow Bay lot as the County will have both trams running continuously from all lots up to the Good Dog Park, available for both people and pets!
In case you aren’t aware, I began this non profit animal welfare organization, with the help of Lisa Chelenza ( of TK-99 radio and Pet Pointers on YNN TV ) and a few other great, animal loving people, about three years ago after my mother passed away at the age of 85. She loved animals, as do I, so I wanted to establish an umbrella-type foundation which could raise money and distribute funds to a wide variety of people and organizations that have good intentions in helping our animal friends.

So be sure to bring your pets, check out Wegmans Good Dog Park, play some games, have some great food, maybe win some prizes and say hi to the pets for adoption. Our plan is for this to be the first of what will become an annual event. Yes, the BIGGEST animal welfare event in central New York! Hope to see you there.
