You can't have any event without a bounce house in Rochester. I have to say that these are some pretty impressive bounce houses.

It was a great day for the animals as we were able to raise $122,600. A big, awesome "thumbs up" to Karen for pulling this off. THANK YOU to all the volunteers who poured countless hours into creating Barktober Fest. GREAT JOB to all our vendors and sponsors that made the race possible by providing materials.
