Three well-known local artists were present at the auction. Pamela Rattray Brown from Inman was present to assist Auctioneer Rick Amendola in selling several of her prints and framed pictures. Pamela told the audience the story behind each painting. Also present were local artist wood carvers Bill Child and Lee Fairchild whose contributions brought handsome prices.

Animal Shelter Dedicated Nov. 11 A large and enthusiastic crowd Saturday from 10 a.m. until noon attended the dedication ceremonies of the Foothills Humane Society’s new animal shelter. Held on Nov. 11, the opening was the culmination of many months of hard work on the part of the members of the Society and thousands of dollars in donations from members of the community, all on behalf of animals needing help. The ceremonies included a dog training demonstration using Domino, a Dalmation puppy from the shelter. Tours of the facility were followed by refreshments and acknowledgements of the contributions toward making the shelter a reality. The invocation was given by the Rev. James Reynolds of Holy Cross Church. The shelter is located on Little Mountain Road in Green Creek For more information, call 863 and is open Tuesday through 4444. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Sundays from 2 to 4 p.m. and is closed Mondays. Besides the animal shelter, the work of the Society includes education, a spaying and neutering program, an adoption service, a lost and found service and a cruelty investigation program. Although most of the animals it helps are dogs and cats, special arrangements can be made for large animals. Future plans for the shelter include two fenced paddocks and a run-in shed. The Society’s work is financed solely through donations and fund raising. Ecept for one paid employee, all work is done by volunteers.
