July 4th 2023 Parade - We won 2nd Place

 


Our parade this year was very creative and involved a lot more than just our club members. Thanks to the creative work of Frank Lodge and Chuck Kanupke, we had a great showing.

The 65 Club honored trained Service Dogs and the contributions they provide their owners
and service recipients. 

Walking in the parade were a wide-range of trained canines that
perform in various capacities:
  • Service dogs -- Service Dogs are partnered with adults and children with disabilities to assist with daily tasks and increase independence by reducing reliance on other people.
  • Facility Dogs - Facility Dogs are expertly trained dogs that are partnered with a facilitator/helper working in a health care, visitation or education setting.
  • Service Dogs for Vets – Service Dogs can help veterans regain independence, pride and hope. The love, loyalty and positivity of a canine partner can make a profound, lasting impact on veterans dealing with difficult emotions that are hard to communicate.  
  • Therapy Dogs - Therapy Dogs accompany their owner into specific settings for the benefit of the residents or clients as part of a therapeutic intervention. Therapy Dogs provide both physical and psychological benefits to humans and the dog.  They participate in education where students are involved or experience trauma situations. They play a critical part to offer love, attention,
  • and affection in natural disasters.  
  • Seeing Eye Dogs - The Seeing Eye Dog’s role is to enhance the dignity independence, and self-confidence of people who are blind/sight impaired through the of specially trained dogs.

Parade canines and their owners represented a variety of expert-trained service dog organizations – Canine Companions, Penn Vet Working Dog Center, Tri-State Working Dog
Center and others.

Of course our Mascot, Ty, was there to keep us in check 



as well as Bill Brown, with a 1 day pass from Care One.
