The great news is that we exceeded our goal and raised an amazing $13,939 in our Amazing Raise Pub Night. The House may have raised the most amount of money to take the title, but the barn was certainly the crowd favorite at the pub night.
As winners, the House Team has decided that the losers, team Barn must give Carol at least two days off by fully running SAINTS, sleeping with the bed buddies and providing dinner for Carol. That was a nice change for the pub night considering last year Carol had to adopt Phoebe the red whirling wonder.
Anyways things got prettty competitive among the teams but SAINTS and ultimately the animals are the real winners.
Here is the break down.
Tickets 1,100
Silent Auction 1,020
Amazing Raise 11,819
Total 13,939

The night was a great evening to celebrate and it was so much fun to see and chat with all of the volunteers with a bevy insetead of a mop or pitch fork in our hands. I also got to meet a few supporters and bonded with one in our love of brown/tan daxis.
