A PIER Plan Neighborhood Fair will be conducted in conjunction with the Bevo Mill Neighborhood's second annual pet parade, entitled the "Bevo Bark & Boo". This event has the backing of local businesses, community representatives, the Bosnian Chamber of Commerce, the Better Bevo Neighborhood Association, and Ward 13 and Ward 14's Alderpersons, with the project management support of the South St. Louis City Neighborhood Improvement Specialists.

St. Louis Metropolitan Police officers and City of St. Louis firefighters will be on hand with Operation Polar Cops, equipped with treats and frozen novelties, and the Safe House, a mobile fire safety house that is set up to instruct our citizens on fire safety topics, such as: smoke alarms, home escape plans, using 911, and a host of other fire safety topics. Furthermore, City of St. Louis government agencies and various community service partners will be present offering animal health and adoption information, free health screenings for children and adults, job placement and career assistance information, and many other services. 

On top of the service and product informational tables, attendees will be offered many opportunities for free candy and pet treats. In addition to the multitude of restaurants within walking distance of the park, food vendors will be available for purchase.
