From the Animal Care Center: A glorious fun-filled evening and a loving way to celebrate the holidays, this annual event features delicious creations by the island’s best chefs, great music, local talent & FUN! This year’s theme is “Party like a Rock Star”. Come dressed as your favorite rock star and prizes will be awarded for the best costume. Music will be provided by DJ Adonis, and there will also be a big raffle and silent auction. Both are known to be two of the best on the island, because the local merchants love to help the animals.

The gala will be held on Saturday, January 18 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the home of Joann and Glenn Hall in Chocolate Hole. Tickets are $100 in advance and $125 at the door. Tickets can be purchased online by clicking here or at any of the following merchants:

  • Chelsea Drug
  • St. John Hardware
  • Connections, East and West
  • And of course at the ACC shelter.
