16th Annual Berkshire Humane Society Benefit Horse Show - August 19, 2008
The 16th Annual Berkshire Humane Society Horse Show will be held Sunday, August 24, at Overmeade Farm, 940 East Street, Lenox. The event begins at 9 a.m. rain or shine. Spectators are invited to come and watch area riders compete in the day-long event. The horse show is rated by the Western Massachusetts Professional Horseman’s Association (WNEPHA) and includes competitions for all levels of riding.
There will be food for sale BHS merchandise and selective raffle items. The annual event has raised over $130,000 in the past 15 years for the homeless animals at the Berkshire Humane Society. If you would like to be a horse show sponsor, or receive information, please contact Berkshire Humane Society at (413) 447-7878.
The Berkshire Humane Society has been helping animals and people since 1992; they offer free educational visits and tours for area school children, a community pet-food bank for economically distressed pet owners, and works in cooperation with The Elizabeth Freeman Center to provide foster care assistance for the pets of women in crisis. BHS receives no public funding and relies on memberships and donations to continue to help animals and people. In 2007, BHS placed 784 homeless animals into loving forever homes.
The shelter is open Tuesday - Saturday 10am - 4pm, Thursday evenings 5-8pm, and Sundays 1-4pm. The shelter closes at noon on the last Wednesday of each month for staff meetings. The phone number is 413-447-7878 and website is www.berkshirehumane.org. |
