The community is invited to attend the Roy C. Marcum Animal Care Faire at Sacramento County Bradshaw Animal Shelter on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2022, from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. The free-admission event is a community celebration of animal rescue and welfare in honor of fallen Animal Control Officer Roy C. Marcum. Children of all ages, as well as dogs on a leash, are welcome.
The shelter’s dog park will be renamed the “Roy Marcum Bark Park” during a dedication ceremony at 11 a.m. led by Sacramento County Supervisor Don Nottoli. Other festivities for the day include a marketplace of more than 50 local vendors, police K9 demonstrations, food trucks, adoptable pets from Bradshaw Animal Shelter and local rescues, and a raffle.
“Ten years ago, the Marcum family lost a husband and father and Sacramento County lost an exemplary officer and member of our community,” said Annette Bedsworth, Director of Bradshaw Animal Shelter. “This event will honor his memory in the way Officer Marcum would have wanted: by bringing people together to share their love of companion animals.”
Animal Control Officer Roy C. Marcum was killed in the line of duty on Nov. 28, 2012. He served the Sacramento community as an animal control officer for 14 years.
