Teresa and I would like
to personally thank
everyone that came out
to support the Florence
Area Humane Society at
the first Canines in
Costume for a Cause
Howl-o-ween Benefit. I
don't think we could
have had better
weather. The vendors
set up awesome
tables/booths and the
food was great. I think
everyone enjoyed
watching the flyball
demo and the one dog
frisbee contest. And
who could forget Tater
the kissing bulldog.
Thanks to all of the
volunteers that came out
to help and to Billy the
DJ for donating his
time. Special thanks
goes to Madisyn Lutcken
for raising $400 in
pledge money for the
pledge walk.
Thanks to the
photographers that
covered the event and
are still running their
contest until Oct.
31st. Check it out and
vote at
www.casualimages.biz.
(All of these proceeds
will be added to the
total money raised).
Finally, but most
importantly, thanks to
all of you dogs that
dressed up and dragged
your owners out. We
love you. If we forgot
anyone, we apologize.
Being the first Howl-o-ween
benefit, we realize we
have some kinks to work
out. So please send
your suggestions to help
make this a better and
bigger event next year
to
liz9358@msn.com.
And if anyone wants to
set up a booth next year
with dog related
products or services,
please let me know.
Thanks again and have a
Happy Howl-o-ween. --

Greenwood Elementary School students rallied to bring in
food and supplies for the many puppies and kittens at
the Florence Area Humane Society. Their project,
“Cause for Paws,” was generated by the students
and teachers at Greenwood in a heartfelt effort to help
the large numbers of homeless animals currently at the
shelter.
The project was open to all grade levels. The classroom
that brings in the most items for the “Cause” will win a
prize and a visit from some of the puppies at the
shelter! The students could also purchase Paw tattoos
and Paw bracelets to show their love for the Humane
Society animals!
