(WSYR-TV) – Looking for a bubit good time? Jamesville Beach Park will host the 12th annual Wayne’s Canine Carnival on Saturday, September 17 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
“We are thrilled to announce that the Dog Carnival will be back for 2022,” said Wayne Mahar, who came up with the carnival as a tribute to his mother and has become a hit over the years. “This animal-focused fundraiser is such a treasure for our community.

“Staffworks is proud to support this great community event,” said Anita Vitullo, Founder and President of Staffworks. “This event aligns with our mission to help provide direct care and services to at-risk animals in the regional communities where Staffworks operates.”
