Sniff notes: Cabin Fever Fest rocks for shelter pets

It is time for a night of serious fun and help for the animals at the Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter.

We are holding our Cabin Fever Music Fest on Feb. 21, and if you are interested, you should definitely get tickets soon.

We usually come pretty close to selling out the venue, so get your tickets ahead of time if you want to definitely have a spot.

Our Cabin Fever Music Fest is held in the Orchard’s Ballroom in Chambersburg, and doors will open at 4 p.m., with music starting at 5.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. You can buy them at the shelter on Letterkenny Road West or our thrift store at 66 S. Main St. in Chambersburg.

What makes this event so special is we have five local bands who donate their time and talents to put on an amazing show for us to help our animals. Our performers include the Jill Fulton Band, Soleil, the Negley Brothers, Club Medics and the Cameron Molloy Band.

I’m telling you, these people are amazing. I just love listening to them.

If you would like to reserve a table, you may do so, but the tickets must all be purchased at the same time, and you should let your folks know it will be under your name. A table holds eight people, so if you can gather some friends for a fun night out, please make sure you either collect all the money before going to purchase the tickets or one person pays for the group and gets the money back from friends.

A cash bar and a limited menu at the Orchards will be available, and if you haven’t eaten there yet, plan to come hungry. They have really amazing food.

This will be an over 21 crowd because of the bar, so think about making it a date night and give the babysitter a call.

We’re also going to have some amazing items up for our raffle table, as well as a 50/50 drawing and fish bowl tickets. Make sure you bring cash for those!

We’ve got the whole ballroom, and last year, we filled it, so this is going to be a great night!

One of the reasons I love this event is because it gives us a chance to really showcase the talent we have in this community, but the bigger reason is that these folks really are amazingly caring people. They all love animals, and they want to help and they love to sing, so this just makes sense.

Last year we raised $15,000 with this event, and we’re hoping to do even better this year. You can help us make that happen.

We also have sponsorship opportunities available. Contact us at 717-263-5791 to talk about them.

So mark your calendars for a great night of music and fundraising for our four-legged friends at our Cabin Fever Music Fest on Feb. 21 at the Orchards.

Trust me, you do not want to miss it!
