This exciting community event will feature over 65 local businesses offering unique shopping, samples, and experiences, as well as a massive basket raffle with over 40 amazing prizes\u2014all in support of a heartwarming cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A portion of the proceeds will benefit Vanessa\u2019s Lasting Legacy Ltd., a nonprofit dedicated to helping keep pets with their families\u2014specifically local veterans, the elderly, the disabled, and those experiencing homelessness. This mission was inspired by Vanessa, a rescued pit bull who captured hearts nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Story Behind Vanessa\u2019s Legacy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vanessa was rescued by Jeremy Wolf from Rochester Animal Services but was wrongfully held by the Town of Ogden for 10 months, with no family contact. A national movement, Justice for Vanessa, fought tirelessly for her release. She was finally freed and taken to a Sanctuary in Darien, NY, but sadly, she passed away from cancer soon after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023, Vanessa\u2019s story continued to inspire as she helped raise over $14,000 for Verona Street Animal Society after winning Three Heads Brewing\u2019s annual beer contest, which featured her image on their cans. Now, her dad Jeremy Wolf, mom Kerry Dudek, and grandmother &nbsp;Diana have established Vanessa\u2019s Lasting Legacy Ltd. to carry on her mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Day of Fun for a Great Cause<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Lucky Paws Vendor Show &amp; Basket Raffle is free to attend and welcomes the entire family\u2014pets included!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pet Photography with a St. Patrick\u2019s Day Twist! From 10 AM to 12 PM, Lucabear Pet Photography will be on-site capturing adorable St. Patrick\u2019s Day-themed pet portraits for just $10 per pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Give Back &amp; Get Rewarded!
