• in Port Angeles, the Festival of Trees was once again a spectacular success; it was held last weekend.



• 'Santa Claws' will be at Dancing Dog for snapshots with your favorite pet! Saturday Dec.11th, 10-3. Photographs of your choice can also be printed onto t-shirts and sweatshirts by the PFOA members who will be taking the photos. Now that's a real great gift idea. Looking forward to that one...

• and...at the Prairie Grange Hall: on Saturday the 24th Annual 'Handmade Christmas Fair', from 9 to 3 p.m.

Confirm with the groups for dates and time.

The season's cut trees are now available at several marketplaces throughout Sequim. There are many varieties to choose from.
It's beginning to look more like Christmas, all the time!

The Salvation Army Bell-ringers are back, some at the same stations they had last year. It is good to see old friends back again.

a follow-up:
That little black kitten which was trying to find a new home back at the Senior Center Bazaar three years ago, had been rescued from under a car by a Friends of Animals volunteer. That tiny little soul endured some very terrifying moments...
Amber (for those amber eyes) was adopted by her fostering family. If anyone is interested in adopting other once-lost-now-found kitties, please call Peninsula Friends of Animals at 360-452-0414 and leave a message. Many thanks to the Sequim Gazette for carrying a photo ad for PFOA every week. These have helped place so many animals in new homes!
Since the County is shrinking animal control due to budget restraints - they will only deal with vicious animals - (everybody is low on Money) - private groups like PFOA and WAGS, and even the CCHS in PA are adoptable animals' greatest hopes. There are 36 well-socialized cats and kittens at the PFOA shelter SafeHaven, and they are all looking for their forever homes this holiday seson. Open your heart and let one in... they will bring much joy to your home. And for dogs, please visit the Pound- the Clallam County Humane Shelter in Port Angeles- these creatures are truly in need.
