Tickets on sale now for Whitley County Humane Society's annual benefit auction
Article provided
The Whitley County Humane Society is gearing up for its 11th Annual Benefit Auction to be held on May 14 at the Eagle Nest Event Center.
This is the Humane Society’s largest fund-raiser of the year, and every dollar raised helps the shelter provide lost or stray animals with food, shelter, medical attention and – most importantly – a chance to be adopted into a new family.
“This past year has been exceptionally hard on the shelter,” said Karen Friend-Bowman, shelter director. “The number of lost or abandoned animals we serve at the shelter certainly has not decreased. We greatly depend on the proceeds from this benefit auction to be able to continue to serve these animals.”
The evening will begin with heavy appetizers at 6 p.m., followed by both a live and silent auction beginning at 7 p.m. There are auction items for everyone and every budget, including: 14k gold diamond heart pendant from Murphy’s Jewelers, 42” flat panel HDTV courtesy of the Whitley County Community Foundation, carpet cleaning for your whole house from White’s Flooring, weekend fishing package from Waterhawg Pond Fountains, introductory flight lesson from Smith Field Air Service, pistol/personal protection shooting class and rifle case from Precision Arms, facial and microdermabrasion from Rejuva MedSpa, handcrafted wood furniture by Chuck Jones, Crates hand-tooled Western saddle from Pat Stach, original stained glass art from Bob Hoffman, Splash Waterpark passes, and many, many more items generously donated by local businesses and individuals.
Tickets are $10 per person (children under 6 free) and are available for purchase either at the door or in advance at the Humane Society, Brew-Ha, Murphy’s Jewelers and the Whitley County Community Foundation.
