The fundraising from this event continues to bring great benefit to the shelter. Just a few weeks ago Animal Fair evolved full circle, as it was held at the Miner farm once again. Despite a rainy day, it was declared a huge success yet again.  So it came as no surprise that the board of directors wanted special recognition to go to the co-chairs when they announced their recent departure from overseeing Animal Fair.  This long standing and popular tradition will continue but will take on new leadership in the future. A resolution was signed by the David Pritchard, board president, acknowledging the contributions made by Bertie Phayer and Susan Beardslee. Their leadership and hard work were noted and praised in the resolution.
