(Marietta, OH) – One of the most anticipated events for animal lovers in the area is coming up soon and you don't want to miss it. The 13th Annual Fur Ball is coming up on Saturday February 27th.
 
We spoke with Becky Johnson, Chair Head of the Fur Ball, about the details of the event.
 
"It's at the Shrine club down by the fair grounds. There will be a handful of live auction items, there's a silent auction, and there's also a raffle. There's a cash bar and this year there will be heavy hors-d'oeuvres catered by DaVinci's"
 
Becky also told us about this year's live entertainment.
 
"There's also a band. The band is The Bash which is Cody Bauman, Randy Bauman, Dave Tenny, and Doctor George. They have a great catalog of music. And from the first song they play until the last one of the night the dance floor is full. And they play all genres."
 
We asked Becky what kinds of items are being raffled at the Fur Ball
 
"Raffle tickets are available at the shelter. The first prize is two one half carat moissanite earrings by Goldline Jewelers, second prize is a genuine Coach purse and billfold, third prize is a smoker grill with a $75 Weber's grocery meat gift certificate, fourth prize is freezer with a $75 Weber's grocery meat gift certificate, and fifth prize is a $100 gift card."
 
But that's not all, the live auction has some extraordinary items.
 
"In the live auction, which will be conducted by the people from Mcleish Auction House, but we have a wagon full of adult beverages. There is a painting donated by Beth Nash. There is a house in Florida, and I think it is three nights and four days, but a house in Florida along with four Disney tickets and the house is located just about a half hour from Disney World."
 
The Fur Ball starts at 7pm and ends at Midnight. With raffles, a live auction, and silent auction with baskets of an assortment of items, a cash bar, live entertainment, and hors-d'oeuvres from DaVinci's it is sure to be a fun-filled evening.
 
All the money made from the event goes to the Humane Society. In the last two years they raised $22,000 which enabled them to buy a van for transporting animals and last year's Fur Ball allowed them to add the outdoor kennels for the dogs to catch some rays in the summer time and provide a place for them to be while the inside kennels are cleaned. Their goal this year is to reach $30,000.
 
If you're interested in going to the Fur Ball tickets are sold at the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley. They are $35 per person or you can buy a table that seats up to eight people for $350. If you can not make it to the shelter during their open hours don't sweat it, you can call and buy your tickets over the phone with a debit or credit card and they will mail you your tickets. For more information on the Fur Ball or to purchase tickets you can call the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley at (740) 373-5959.
