Once again the Estevan Human Society invites everybody to dress up, pickup friends, and help little critters while enjoying a fabulous night out.
The 2019 Whiskers and Wine Gala will take place on Feb. 16 at the Estevan Exhibition Hall.
The president of the Humane Society Angela Prette said that they would start off the night with drinks and meals.
“It’s stating at 6 p.m. with cocktails and followed by a catered dinner,” Prette noted.
Guests will enjoy parmesan-crusted chicken. For those preferring meatless meals there will be alternative options. The night will continue with music and art.
“Probably around 8 o’clock it’s going to be our local band Hook & Nail. And then following that at 9 o’clock there will be JJ Voss. And then at 10 o’clock will be a live art auction with pieces from local artists,” Prette said.
Guests will have a chance to bid on art pieces created by Lindsay Arnold, Byron Fitcher, Wade Kolotelo and others.
The advertising campaign hasn’t started yet, so there are still a lot of tickets available. However, with the price being much lower this year tickets won’t last long.
“We just thought we would drop the price and make it more affordable for everybody,” Prette said. “This year I think it’s a great deal: there is two bands, a live auction and a great meal for 80 dollars or even under 70, if you get seven friends to come. You really can’t beat that. Plus you help little critters, so it’s all for a good cause.”
Tickets are sold for $80 each, or $550 for a table of eight. So if you want to go you are asked to get in touch with the Humane Society or its board members. Prette also mentioned that they are currently trying to make tickets even more accessible for everybody.
“We are also working to get them available through our website and then we can just mail them out to people who purchased them online,” Prette said.
Money collected through the night will be used for the general upkeep of the shelter, animals’ medical bills and supplies.
