FeaturesMarshall County Humane Society News Spaghetti Supper set for Tuesday Tuesday, September 26, is Spaghetti Supper night for the Marshall County Humane Society. We’ll start serving at 4:30 p.m. and keep on until we run out of customers or spaghetti, whichever comes first. There will be h o m e m a d e desserts, too, for a little extra. We’ll be at the VFW in Holly Springs so come join us, eat some good food and help our furry friends at the same time. Tickets are $5 and are available from Humane Society members, at the Rental Barn or at the door. Our Farmers and Flea Market on the second Saturday of each month has turned into an ongoing event, just as we’d hoped. If you’re interested in getting a booth call Lynn Pullen at 901-490-8553. Inside booths are 10x10 with tables provided for $20. Outside booths are 12x12 for $15 but you provide your own tables. Does your cat or dog need a fix? Call 662-252-6196 to make an appointment at the Humane Society’s low-cost Spay/Neuter Clinic. Usually this time of year appointments taper off with folks going back to school and such. Not this year. We are seriously booked up, especially for dogs, so please plan ahead. For information on fostering, adoptions or anything that’s not about the Spay/Neuter Clinic call 662-564-2900. Correspondence and donations should be sent to the Marshall County Humane Society, P.O. Box 625, Holly Springs, MS 38635.
