We lighten the mood a bit this week as Brian Papalia and Amanda Sublett of the Chautauqua County Humane Society join our Terry Frank to discuss a couple of upcoming fund-raisers for the local shelter. We also discuss Amanda's new position at CCHS, which is Community Outreach and Education Coordinator. She says she is looking to work with people in the community at schools, homes, and worksites about what they offer, and educate them on approaching and dealing with a pet. We also discuss this past Saturday's "Pet Expo '25," at the Northwest Arena in Jamestown. Papalia -- who is long-time head of communications with CCHS -- says it's the first time that all local pet and animal shelters and businesses are taking part in such and event. More than 60 vendors took part... and, there were a number of dog and pet demonstration... including one with the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office K-9 Unit. We also discuss the Sat., Oct. 25 "Meowsquerade Ball: Mystery of the 13 Black Cats" at Wicked Warrens in downtown Jamestown. Both say tickets for that event have been going fast. Sublett says that event began small, but, has grown into a pretty significant event to draw attention to their spay and neuter program. They also discuss the Humane Society's efforts to work with people in the community if they're having difficulty keeping their pet, or if they feel it's time to surrender that pet, or pets. Their phone number is (716) 665-2209... and their website is chqhumane.org.
