Because You Care animal rescue is hosting a dog and family-friendly fundraiser at Frontier Park in Erie. There will be food trucks, a beer garden, kid and dog friendly activities, Magic Steve balloon sculptures, Bryan Toy caricatures, craft vendors, and their annual Franklin Fund Basket Raffle.

Tickets are $20 and all funds support providing veterinary care and maintaining the BYC adoption center.

This is a free family-friendly event great for people of all ages. Meet Tamarack Wildlife’s non-releasable “ambassador” hawks, owls, and falcons presented “on the glove” by handlers for the public to view up close and personal. Children’s crafts and activities, tours of the admissions facilities, educational displays, and refreshments are other highlights.

There will be a raffle, TWC merchandise for sale, and opportunities to learn about how to further support Tamarack in the future. The center’s licensed rehabilitators, educators, and volunteers will be onsite to answer questions and discuss exciting successes of the past year.

Participants at this event must utilize roadside parking. Limited handicapped parking will be available.
