Ballots for the prize draw are $5 for 1 or $10 for 3 and will only be available at the event. All money raised will be donated to Pets and People Visiting Society, which provides training for handlers and pets in YLW’s Pet Ambassador program.
Free parking will be provided in the long-term parking lot during event hours, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Attendees are required to bring in their parking voucher to be validated.
