Okay, you all, the Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter is gearing up for our Cabin Fever Music Fest on March 1, and if you are interested, you should definitely get tickets soon.
This is such a fun event and it’s gearing up to possibly set records with funds raised, so we really can’t wait.
It’s sponsored by Charles Nitterhouse VFW Post 1599 of Chambersburg – I just adore Don Hershey, the manager there, who helps the shelter out a lot because he’s such a great animal lover – and F&M Trust. We’ve had a great relationship with them for as long as I’ve been at the shelter.
So our Cabin Fever Music Fest is held in the Orchard’s Ballroom in Chambersburg on March 1, and doors will open at 4 p.m., with music starting at 5.
Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door, but I really don’t know that we’ll have that many to sell at the door because tickets are going fast. So if you’re interested, get your tickets in advance. 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. 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 pay for the group and get the money back from your 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.
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, they want to help and they love to sing, so this just makes sense.
So mark your calendars for a great night of music and fundraising for our four-legged friends at our Cabin Fever Music Fest on March 1 at the Orchards.
Trust me, you do not want to miss it!
