KWWSPCA Shelter Open Day on Sunday

The KWWSPCA Shelter Open Day will be held on Sunday 18 August, from noon to 4pm, writes Sally McCaffrey. Everyone welcome and there's free admission and plenty of free parking.

As well as meeting some of the dogs in the care of the KWWSPCA and some of its kittens, who will be playing in Colleen's Kitty Cottage, there will be lots of other activities for adults and children. In our house, there will be a massive Book Sale as well as a Pop Up Shop for Designer and High End ladies' fashions. In our annex, you will be able to buy teas and light refreshments and there will be face painting for the children (and likeminded adults!).

There will be a barbecue and music by Catherine Coates in the garden. In our barn and stables, we will have Noah's Ark, selling a wide range of interesting items that have been donated to the Society, including jewellery, gifts, small household items, novelties and lots of other nice things.

There will also be stalls selling items for your pet, including a varied selection of dog beds at very reasonable prices. The KWWSPCA Community Cat Carers will have a stall, as will our Artist and Animal Welfare Officer, Shauna, who will be taking commissions for pet portraits. And 'Gracie's Blog', the full version, will be launched that day! There will also be a Cake Stall, a Bottle Stall and a Teddy Adoption Stall. There will be games organised for the children in the fields and also a children's painting competition.

So please come along and enjoy the afternoon with the KWWSPCA. All the money raised will go towards our Shelter Appeal Fund. We are all volunteers, we have no paid employees, so almost all the money raised at our fund raising events goes directly to helping animals in need. The KWWSPCA Animal Shelter is located a few kilometres outside Athgarvan on the road towards Twomilehouse. The eircode is W12 EV60 and it will be well signposted.
