Critteraid presents their Fourth Annual “I HEART ANIMALS” BANQUET on Friday, February 24, 2012 at 6pm in the ballroom of the Penticton Lakeside Resort. Well-mannered doggies are invited to attend this one-of-a-kind event, and are welcome to bring their well-mannered humans along with them. All proceeds from the banquet will benefit specific Critteraid projects.
Guests will have plenty of chances to bid on a fabulous silent auction and take part in all kinds of other fundraising activities. Guests will enjoy a delicious vegetarian dinner and dessert followed by a presentation by Rob Laidlaw, founder of Zoocheck and author of several books: “Wild Animals In Captivity”, “On Parade”, and his most recent work, “No Shelter Here”. Rob was the guest speaker at the 1st Annual “I Heart Animals” Banquet and his presence at this year’s event is highly anticipated.
The evening will be hosted by Dennis Walker of Giant FM. Guests will be treated to the amazing talents of Ryan Schick on the grand piano, as well there will be prizes for the dogs with the most chic attire. We are currently collecting donations for our silent auction as well as cash donations to cover some of the event costs, so if you are able to contribute please call 250-493-9752 for pickup.
Tickets are $35 per human (dogs are free), and are available for purchase at Pet Pantry in Penticton, Country Corner in Summerland, or by calling Deb Silk at 250-493-9752. Discounted hotel rates are available for out-of-town guests.
