The Lucknow Sentinel, 2016-12-14, Page 5Lucknow Pet Rescue in need of litter and food for animal foster homes Pet Rescue has 56 cats and kittens and 22 adoptable dogs in their foster care program. The majority of the 15 small dogs are dogs discarded by the breeder when they are no longer producing pups. The seven larger dogs were found at large by ani- mal control, or surrendered by their breeder or owners. The rescue has to pur- chase the supplies for the pets during their stay. Adult small breed dog food, adult large breed dog food, kitten food, and cat food is not cheap, let alone for more than 75 pets at a time.Specialty diets from the vets are also needed in some cases. Collars, ID tags, leashes, travel crates, training crates, litter, litter pans, and beds are a few of the items we need everyday for the pets. We are happy to accept good used carriers and crates. Pet Valu in Goderich and Kincardine collects dona- tions specifically for Pet Res- cue, and also sells gift cards. Pet Rescue often buys a skid of litter or food at a time to be more cost effective. Walkerton -Hanover vet has a donation binforus in their front lobbywhere items can be left. Donations of gift cards to Pet Valu are greatly appreciated. Monetary donations are also gratefully accepted, and can be sent by e -transfer to petrescue@hurontel. on. ca or paypal, or they can also be mailed to us, just email or call for the mailing address, or arrangements can be made for the rescue to pick donations up. Please call and leave a message at 519-357-5515 if you have a donation and need more information.We will reply asap. The rescue took in over 200 abandoned cats to spay and neuter since last Fall, and close to 100 dogs as well. The regular vetting often costs more than the adoption fee, let alone the extra vetting needed in many cases. We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and won- derful holiday season. Thank you for your support! Submitted Lucknow Pet Rescue continues to adopt out cats and dogs like these cuties seen here.

Lucknow Music in the Fields Early Bird tickets on sale until Dec. 31 If you still aren't sure what to get that special someone for Christmas, Lucknow's Music in the Fields Early Bird Tickets are on sale until Dec. 31, 2016. This Christmas special offers tickets for a reduced rate of $135, with prices increasing to $150 in the new year. This year's festival has some big changes in store. The biggest news being that Lucknow's Music in the Fields is moving! The event is relocating to the 55 acre "Graceland" grounds, revealed last year as a new campground. This venue has been developed and improved throughout the year and will not only accommodate all campers, but will also host the entire festival grounds that will serve as the new home for the event. Now with all campgrounds in the same geographical area as the festival, guests can easily visit their friends and par- take in all of the activities planned for daytime entertainment. "Although the Lucknow Soccer Fields and surround- ing neighbourhood served the event very well in the past, this new location will set a whole new standard for proximity and access to accommodate this increas- ing fan experience," festival co-chair Ken Irwin said in a media release. "Now every- one will basically be just out- side the front gate of the festival!" As always, free parking and shuttle service will be provided throughout the weekend to ensure patrons have easy access to the town. An improved security pro- gram will also ensure a safe and secure event for all. Another exciting change for this upcoming summer is single wristband access. Nothing brings a smile to our faces faster than recalling the friendship and kindness of all the good folks we've had the pleasure to serve this year. Allan and Lucy Miller Holyrood Store & Post Office With everything in one loca- tion, your pass to Lucknow's Music in the Fields now grants you full access to all aspects of the festival.
