2nd annual Carole’s Critters! Join us on Saturday, September 6th, from 12pm-4pm at Blue Lake Casino Hotel for a pet adoption & fundraiser event. We'll be outside next to the Sapphire Palace in the field. All proceeds from the gate and a 50/50 raffle will be donated to the Friends for Life Animal Rescue administered Humboldt County Animal Shelter Emergency Medical Fund. We have invited local animal rescues and shelters to bring some adoptable furbabies that need a new loving family.
Carole’s Critter is our annual memorial event honoring Carole Ann Morgal, formally the Program Director of KWPT - The Point. If you don’t remember Carole Ann, she was an avid animal lover, creative DJ, and a fiercely loyal friend. She was also the brains and force behind of the annual “Food for Fido” pet food drive. Sadly, we lost our dear sweet Carole Ann in 2021 to cancer. To honor her vibrant spirit, we brought her pet food drive back and are making it bigger every year! She loved to say, “Go big or go home”.
The entry fee is a sliding donation of $10 (kids under 10 are free) OR a pet food donation of equal value. Each entry comes with one raffle ticket to win a cool basket of rad stuff. The more you donate, the more raffle tickets you receive!! That means more chances to win! The event is pet friendly!!
The main attraction is the animal shelters & rescues bringing with them some lovable and adoptable pets looking for a new forever family. What else are we doing, you may ask? Lots of fun stuff!! We will have live music, a beer garden, vendors, food trucks and more! Even a pet costume contest!
The pet costume contest is worth mentioning again. You can win a sweet, sweet prize and best of all: glory! Plus, the satisfaction of knowing your pet was the best dressed. Second and third place win cool stuff too! The contest will take place at 2pm at the stage.
Come out to sunny Blue Lake on Saturday, September 6th and let’s honor Carole Ann in the best way we know how: The 2nd Annual Carole’s Critters.
