Here’s a huge rousing thanks to everyone who made today’s Santa Paws fundraising event a great success! Sponsored by our friends at PetSmart on Hurstborne Lane in Louisville, Kentucky, the fun started at 11 am and wrapped up around 4 pm. Animal Refuge Center staff and volunteers also provided holiday cheer with a bake sale, coffee, hot cocoa and tea for PetSmart shoppers and pet parents bringing their pets to get their photo taken with Santa!
First off, a big huge thank you to Ben and Sheryl Emerson, who agreed to be Santa and Helper for us this year! Both had a great time working with the customers and their pets, and Santa had the kids convinced, too! (One nervously giggling youngster tried to back away from Santa and ran over his little brother…) 
Bake sale!
Everyone loved the bake sale provided by Animal Refuge Center staff and volunteers! Inge Edwards, Marimac Smythe, Pat McKinney and Sarah Faulkner greeted customers and sold goodies. Even PetSmart employees agreed that the food was great!

I really enjoyed how thoroughly you covered the topic. Are there other things that I should know about this?
