Play for Paws

Shameless plug alert!

Play for Paws in support of the Winnipeg Humane Society is coming up fast! Fourteen days fast!

Do you like animals? Do you like to ensure that animals are taken care of and healthy? Do you like to help the community? Of course you do. So you should definitely come to the Play for Paws fund-raiser.

The fund-raiser is set-up as a family-friendly activity day where children can decorate cookies and pet treats, win a cake in the cake walk, and you (they're lovely parents/sister/brother/grandma/etc.) can come win some awesome silent auction prizes from companies all over Winnipeg. Not to name drop, but there are some awesome prizes from Kitchen & Bath Classics, a Wolseley Company, Petland, Lotto 649, Pawsh Dog, St. Boniface Golf Course, It Works!, and more.

Play for Paws - February 1, 2014 noon-4PM at the Heritage Victoria Community Centre (950 Sturgeon Road). Hope to see you there!

End of shameless plug.

This event is a long time coming and I'm so proud of the work that has been put into it. I'm happy that so far everything is coming together (knock on wood), and I'm so happy and in complete awe of the people who have been helping me along the way.

My amazing (truly amazing) parents who have helped with everything from sponsorships to promotion, and building to editing, my sister who has become very good at talking me off the figurative ledge (like I've said before, it's been stressful), my boyfriend who is letting me use him as an idea board, sounding board, and a pick-up chauffeur, and my friends (both in CreComm and in life outside of CreComm) who have been so supportive and wonderful about this whole stressful project.

Anyway before I get all sentimental again, I'll just say this: I really hope this event does some good for the Winnipeg Humane Society. They really do deserve all the help they get because they are truly an amazing organization.
