There are still tickets available for the 15th annual “Wine, Kibbles and Bids,” one of the two most important annual fundraisers for the Tri-County Humane Society.
The deadline to buy tickets is Tuesday, April 19. The event will take place at 5:30 p.m. Friday, April 22 at the Gorecki Center on the campus of the College of St. Benedict, St. Joseph. There will be wine-tasting, beer-tasting, a gourmet-style dinner, a silent auction and music performed by Kelly Cordes.
Tickets can be purchased online via www.tricountyhumanesociety.net. Go to “Events,” then pull down to “Wine, Kibble, Bids.”
The guest of honor at the event will be “Remy,” short for Remington, the yellow Labrador who miraculously survived being shot at close range six times a couple months ago by someone wielding a pellet gun in Avon Township. The dog suffered severe facial wounds and traumatic jaw-bone damage but managed to survive after surgery, thanks to prompt help by the humane society and veterinarians. Remy is still recovering but is doing fine.
For more information, call the Tri-County Humane Society at 320-252-0896.
