"Paw & Pole" tally:
90 racers, 175 lunches,
5 dogs adopted
And $10,000 raised for the Animal Shelter
Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day for the Animal
Shelter of the Wood River Valley—in more ways than one during the 16th
annual "Paw and Pole" cross-country ski event at Sun Valley Gun
Club.
The weather was perfect, the turnout of 90 racers was
great, a total 175 lunches were served and, best of all, five dogs were
adopted. The fund-raising event raised $10,000, half of which came from
$5,000 received from a raffle for a wilderness trip.

It was certainly a good week for the Animal Shelter
because an additional $4,000 was raised at Wednesday’s "Artists for
Animals" bowl sale at Bigwood Bread Bakery.
At the Paw & Pole, costume awards went to JoAnn Levy,
Angela Hanson and Sheila McBroom. Receiving the kids’ award were Tess
Dahlgren, Mali Noyes and Nhi Pham.
Chris and Doran Key of Ketchum are big
fans of Boxers. At the "Paw and Pole," their dogs Sophie and
Louis take Doran for a fun ride along the Sun Valley Gun Club trail.

"Smart Pet Tricks" awards went to Yvonne
Collins, Scotty Phelan, Hailey Zanes and Samantha Taft. "Artistic Paw
Print" awards were given to Patty Parsons and Libby Holtz. And Sue
Acker with Tate received the "Lifetime Achievement Award" for
their balancing trick.
