UPCOMING EVENTS
APRIL 28--PINS FOR PETS ANNUAL BOWLING FUNDRAISER
“Pins for Pets” 9-Pin Tap Bowling Fundraiser, is set for Saturday, April 28. This year's event will be in memory of Jim Bethel’s wife, Debbie Harrold, who with her great bowling group, annually participated in this event. WCAHS wanted to honor all of her generous thoughtfulness toward the animal shelter and this year's event will be especially significant as it falls on what would have been her birthday. There will be two afternoon shifts of bowling and an evening shift if there is an interest. The sign-up sheets will go up in April at the Northwoods Lanes and Lounge in Spooner and bowlers may call or stop in there to get on the roster. As in the past, we have donation sheets, so you can have your family and friends donate towards our event.

MAY 12--HAPPY TRAILS FOR HAPPY TAILS RIDES AGAIN
The Washburn County Area Humane Society is holding their third annual Happy Trails for Happy Tails trail ride at Dugan Run horse trails on Saturday, May 12th. Dugan Run horse trails are 11 miles east of Spooner.
The ride last year, with almost perfect weather, brought in 34 horse/rider combinations from as far away as Hastings, MN and Green Bay, WI. A cookout will take place after the ride, along with a raffle with some great prizes. New last year was the cram the crate contest, where every rider who brought a donation of supplies from the humane society wish list received a free raffle ticket. This turned out to be a great success, and will be back again this year. We are looking forward to another fun-filled ride, so please come join us. Watch the WCAHS website and Facebook for more information on the ride and for the humane society wish list .
