1. Athens, Ohio – The Athens County Humane Society will host its third
annual wine tasting fundraiser at 7 p.m. in Baker Ballroom, Friday,
April 10th, during Ohio University’s Mom’s weekend.
Five wines are available throughout the night by a sommelier, who
will provide expertise covering taste qualities and paired meal
suggestions. Kroger will provide wine glasses for each guest to take
home, as well as the time of the sommelier. Athens Farmer’s Market
cheese will compliment the wine.
A silent auction with prize donations from local businesses, wine
charm crafting, the Singing Men of Ohio, and a photo booth will
entertain guests for the night.
“We do not receive funding from the Humane Society of the United
States. All donations support our low-cost spay/neuter clinics, and
mission to promote public awareness of animals’wellness issues. Last
year’s event raised $3,000,” Jennifer Bagwell, ACHS Treasure, stated.
The ACHS provides low cost spay and neuter clinics the first Thursday
of every month. The proceeds of this event will directly fund: spay/
neuter clinic costs, animal care awareness programs, adoption and
fostering fees and more.
“This was definitely my favorite Mom’s Weekend activity last year.
Drinking to save animals? Sign me up,”Eric Lockwood, said.
The event is open to all OU students and their mother’s, as well as the
local community.
The ACHS will offer twice as many tickets this year, due to last year’s
24-hour sell out. Tickets will be sold March 24 and 25 near the bottom
of the Baker escalators from 10-1 p.m. or online : Woof & Wine TICKETS
