Third annual SPCA Adopt-A-Thon a great success

This weekend literally went to the dogs and the cats as the local SPCA held their 3rd annual adopt-a-thon event yesterday at Dufresne Furniture. 

Kash Knight with the SPCA provided details on all the fun activities that took place. 

"You can come by to meet some adoptable pets. We will have several food and artisian vendors, you can even get a fine line tatoo if you like and the kids will be able to enjoy a bouncy house. We even have a donkey kissing booth going on so lots of fun stuff."
