I talked to someone involved with the organization a while back. At one time, many of the animal were put down long before they tried to find homes for them. The current manager does her best to find homes for all the animals. They don't put them down unless they are severely ill or until they run out of space. At least that is what they strive for. I encourage any & all people to donate to this worthy cause. They will also take dog/cat food donations. If everyone spayed or neutered their pet, we would have a lot fewer unwanted animals out there.

It is an adult event. The Chili Cook off is a Jaycee's event the proceeds are going to the Humane Society. A group is trying to do something good for the community and somebody complains. The people in this town are unbelievable.

why would it be 18 yrs and older when the age for legal drinking is 21?
Pizza Hut sells beer - are children allowed there?
hmmm, yes.
who makes these rules !!

Those younger than 18 cannot come because they are selling beer.

Ricks comments are totally false. Our local animal shelter does NOT find homes for MOST of the animals.

More than 50% are euthanized.

the benfit is for a good cause. they do take in many more animals than the public is aware of. Hoping they use the donations to expand and renovate the old buildings. Yet the statement that says that "most" are adopted out is totally false. In 2007, the KV Daily article read that 400 were adopted that year and over 1000 were euthanized. So which one of our media groups actually got the facts right before they spoke? wouldn't we all like to know the truth, in addition to how the City funds are being used.

"It is an 18 and older event." So no children are allowed to a humane society event to benefit animals?
