Hungry Bowl Food Drive

NEWS RELEASE \r\n\r\nNovember 22, 2013\r\n\r\nContact: Vickie Grantz \r\nPhone: 580-233-1325 \r\nEmail: enidspca@suddenlinkmail.com or Kyla at barkaveenid@yahoo.com\r\nWeb site: enidspca.org or barkaveenid.com\r\n\r\nBark Avenue Pet Taxi and Sitter Service LLC \r\nSponsors and coordinates The Fifth Annual Hungry Bowl™ Pet Food Drive \r\nto benefit the Enid SPCA Food Bank\r\n\r\nWhat: As part of an international effort spearheaded by Pet Sitters International (PSI),\r\nthe largest association for professional pet sitters, The Hungry Bowl™ Pet Food \r\nDrive serves to collect pet food for local shelters. Proceeds from this drive will \r\ngo to the Enid SPCA Food Bank.\r\n\r\nThe SPCA has a Pet Food Pantry, this program in place to help local residents who sometimes struggle with pet expenses. This can include many different situations from a loss of \r\nincome to simply being on a fixed income. We don’t want anyone to have to choose \r\nbetween grocery expenses or pet food expenses. Hopefully this help can prevent \r\nfamilies from possibly having to surrender their pet to a shelter for financial reasons. \r\nAll donations are greatly appreciated!\r\n\r\nWho: The Fifth Annual Hungry Bowl™ Pet Food Drive\r\nis being sponsored by \r\nBark Avenue Pet Taxi and Sitter Service LLC. \r\nWith Special Thanks To \r\n• Atwoods Ranch & Home \r\nfor donations of wrapping paper for this years collection boxes. Bark Avenue\'s owner, Kyla \r\nCulbert prints the posters, gift wraps the collection boxes and places them at participating \r\nlocations, then transports donations to the SPCA as needed where they tabulate pounds \r\ncollected. Culbert says “The rest of my responsibility is keeping the public aware of our efforts. \r\nThe pet food drive each year is my small contribution to support those in our local rescue \r\ncommunity. They are truly heroes to me.” \r\nWhy: Shelters across the country are in dire need. Enid’s own SPCA is also in need of pet\r\nfood and pet supply donations as it enters 2014. Past drives have barely supplied the Food \r\nBank for the first calendar quarter. Our Goal this year is 2000 pounds as we collected only \r\n1691 total pounds last year. Last year was our lowest total ever with our highest being 2713 \r\nin 2009 which was our very first year for the drive. In 2010 we collected 1857 as one of the 49 \r\nnational campaigns with 25000 total pounds reported to Pet Sitters International. That number\r\nput Enid way above average as the above numbers average approximately 510 per drive.\r\nWhen: Donations accepted December 1-15, 2013. \r\n\r\nWhere: Donations of food, toys, treats, food dishes and pet beds etc can be dropped off\r\nat the following participating locations:\r\n\r\nAtwoods 5400 W.

Christmas In The Village

Location: Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center, 507 S. 4th St. Experience Christmas in the Cherokee Outlet as it was more than 100 years ago with the sights, smells and sounds of the holiday season at Christmas in the Village in Enid. Escape to a simpler time and enjoy character-led tours of the beautifully adorned historic buildings within the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center complex. Bring the entire family out for this event's grand opening celebration and enjoy holiday refreshments, the glow of Christmas lights and a musical performance in the Village Church. Send a letter to Santa, make a Christmas ornament with the schoolmarm at Turkey Creek School, enjoy cookies and cider, or shop for homemade items and historical looking toys in the Village Mercantile. Visitors to Christmas in the Village will witness sparkling Christmas lights on all the buildings and on the 18' Christmas tree in the center of the village green. Each building, including the 1898 one-room school, a 1902 church, the 1905 homestead of J.W. and Alice Glidewell and the only remaining U.S. Land Office from the 1893 Land Run, will be elegantly decorated using ideas and elements of design taken from Victorian catalogs and early 1900s newspaper articles. More than 2,500 sq. ft. of garland, natural greenery and wreaths were used to create an authentic Victorian atmosphere. Tour the Glidewell home, decorated to look as though the family had just left for an evening celebration and will return for Christmas dinner, and gaze upon the beautiful tree set up in the main entryway, the dining room table set with fine china and silver, and spectacular bouquets of live red roses placed in silver vases. The church is decorated with six Christmas trees, while the school is accurately decorated with snowflakes and paper chains. Admission is $5.
