Our 4th annual Fall Bash Fair was a success! There is too much joy to recap in one post, so we'll start by thanking our event partner: The Royal's Urban Youth Academy! To show our anticipation and excitement for next year's Fall Bash, we presented the U.Y.A with a "thank you" check, recognizing their hard work in bringing this community event to life! Together we united community members with local resources and vendors and hosted fun games for the kids. We also hosted our annual Chamber Member's Softball Tournament, we'll announce the winner soon!

What a season! Tail wags and purrs to Royals player Vinnie Pasquantino and The Kansas City Royals Foundation, Kansas City Royals for supporting the shelter pets at Wayside Waifs this year. Vinnie had a special "Pasqwich" sandwich that folks enjoyed this season at Kauffman Stadium. A portion of Pasqwich sandwich sales went to the shelter pets. And in May the annual Bark at the Park event welcomed our furry, four-legged friends to a baseball game to cheer on the Boys in Blue, with special ticket proceeds benefiting Wayside. Congrats on a grrreat season!
