Etowah County’s Humane Society Pet Rescue and Adoption Center will host its annual Paws for St. Patty fundraiser on March 17. The fundraiser will start at the Pitman Theatre at “half past five in the evening.”
A self-proclaimed “green tie affair” attendees are strongly encouraged to don themselves in green and Irish attire.
The evening will feature a live and silent auction with heavy hors d’oeuvres.
Tickets are $50. To purchase tickets, go to www.hsprac.com or call 256-442-1347, ext. 224.
