In addition to finding new homes for deserving pets, the event is also about having fun. Attendees can enjoy an assortment of goodies from the concession stand including barbecued burgers, brats and hotdogs, and options for vegetarians. Four Corners Broadcasting is going to be airing a live simulcast, along with many other fun activities for the whole family.
The Humane Society, an open-admission shelter, handles more than 3,000 animals each year and provides low-cost spay and neuter services Proceeds from the event will go directly to helping animals find a happy place to call home.
