Marshall County Humane Society News Fund-raiser Marshall
County Humane Society has their big annual fund-raiser coming up on
Friday evening, August 6, 5:30 to 9 p.m. “Dog Days Goes Country,”
which will be held at the VFW in Holly Springs. We
have so many items for auction that we can’t list them all, such as
trips to Nashville and the Smokeys, accessories and treats for your
dog, cat or horse; paintings, jewelry, tools for the guys, dinners for
two with movies, plants and even tickets for the Liberty Bowl. There
will be many collectible items, so don’t miss out! Early
in the evening we’ll hold the silent auction, but don’t miss the live
auction later, held by auctioneer, John Caldwell, from Tiplersville
Auction Co., which has been run by his family for years. And
you can enjoy music from the very talented fiddler and violinist, Donna
Wolf, who has entertained for parties and events all over the Memphis
area, plus the tantalizing food from chef Michael Pratt. And don’t
forget the wine tasting table, presented by Glazers of Mississippi, if
you want to find your new favorite taste. This will be a really fun event, so don’t miss out!
