Big Lakes County animal-control facility was supported at a Pound Partnership Fundraiser fundraiser Sept. 7-8 at Shady Orchard and Winery east of High Prairie. The event was initiated by Jessica Gordon to promote and support the Big Lakes service. She appreciates the generous donations of dog and cat food and other items, mostly from Peavey Mart, and a significant monetary donation from High Prairie Vision Centre.” We appreciate all those who came out and donated, despite the smoky weather conditions,” Gordon says. Besides donations of money, dog and cat food and other pet items, the main activity was photos in the sunflower field by Angelique Tisserand Photography. “This year, we decided to grow our own sunflower patch out in our orchard and we felt the need to utilize our sunflowers to promote the animal care facility,” Gordon says.
