June 14, 2024 at 5:32 p.m.
SYRACUSE - Chautauqua-Wawasee is sponsoring the first annual Dog Parade fun at Oakwood Resort in Syracuse on June 22.
Dave Berry, the Chautauqua program organizer, said, “I had participated in a dog parade in Pensacola and felt a similar event in Syracuse would help build community involvement and be fun.”
Participants will dress up their dogs and decorate carts, wagons, strollers and leashes. Trophies will be awarded to the best dressed dog, best dog trick and best tail wag. Judges include Sue Pais, editor of Lakelife magazine; Dave Wilkinson, Syracuse town manager; Kay Young, WPOA president; and Martha Stoelting, community volunteer. Awards will be presented to runners-up as well.
Special O.P.S. K-9 Academy will provide an obedience demonstration, along with a few tricks. They will also show off some special dog grooming ideas and hand out dog froyos (frozen yogurt formulated for dogs).
You can learn more about Syracuse's New Hope Pet Rescue and its efforts to rescue dogs and cats and place them with loving families. They will also be available to discuss how you can adopt a pet.
Syracuse-Wawasee Trails will provide information about Syracuse's dog-friendly trail system. Becca DeGray, of Cookie Coop Bakery, will also be on hand.
Oakwood Resort will partner with Tito’s Vodka, the dog lover’s vodka, to sponsor a pop-up bar and will match their proceeds to support New Hope Pet Rescue. They will also provide dog tag engraving and other goodies.
Lakeland Animal Clinic will be available to scan your dog’s microchip implant. Rake and Take Pet Waste Removal will also be on hand.
This event is free, but participants are encouraged to make a $15 donation. All of the money raised will go to New Hope Pet Rescue.
The parade is 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 22 with awards will be presented immediately after the parade.
Chautauqua-Wawasee is a nonprofit 501c3 organization whose goal is to help make Syracuse and the region a great place to visit, live, work and raise a family by providing programs based on the four Chautauqua pillars: arts, education, faith and recreation.
