Louise Harrison joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the upcoming Barkin for Bingo fundraiser for the Kewanee Animal Shelter and the Saint Francis of Assisi "Blessing of Pets." Animal enthusiasts are gearing up for Barkin’ for Bingo, a community fundraiser set for October 12th at the Flemish American Club in Kewanee. Supporters can dive into several bingo games from 1 to 3 PM, with entry priced at $15 and a range of prizes up for grabs. Organized by the Henry County Humane Society – Kewanee, the event aims to boost funding for cats and dogs under shelter care. Lunch, prepared by Mark Eilers, is available starting at 11 AM until supplies run out. All proceeds benefit local pets, bringing hope for happier futures and new homes.
OSF Saint Luke Medical Center in Kewanee is inviting animal lovers to their annual "Blessing of Pets" event on October 8th. Festivities begin at 11 AM and wrap up at 1 PM, with the formal blessing scheduled for 12:30. The Henry County Humane Society - Kewanee will be present, showcasing adoptable animals and accepting donations. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own pets—dogs must be leashed and cats securely in carriers, as previous years have seen some furry escape artists make a dash for freedom. The event aims to celebrate pets in the community while supporting animals in need. All are welcome to attend.
