Local animal shelter celebrates with Howl-O-Ween event

The Christian County Animal Shelter welcomed a large crowd of supporters to its grounds Saturday afternoon for its first ever Howl-O-Ween festival.

There were games, face-painting, a bounce house, vendor booths, a silent auction, raffle, a food truck and much more and shelter director Irene Grace says it was all about giving back to those who support them all year long.

The parking lot was full early and it was clear the day would be a big success.

Cats, kittens, dogs and puppies were also finding homes at the event as families took the occasion to go inside and see the pets up for adoption.
