The Ceder Center in Arnold is Gearing Up for the 3rd Annual MotherLode Arts and Wine Festival!....With Last Year's Video Enclosed!
Arnold, CA....The 3rd Annual Motherlode Arts and Wine Festival is coming up on August 16th benefitting the Calaveras Humane Society. Since its inception this community event continues to grow in size and stature by attracting more people concerned about the homeless dogs and cats of Calaveras County.....
Last Year's Annual Event!
Spearheading this annual event is Tallahan’s Café (http://www.tallahans.com). “By leveraging off the community work done by Drew Morris and the Cedar Center Merchants Association (http://www.cedarcenter.net/eventmusic.html) with the Music in the Park Summer Series, we have been able to use the park for the betterment of the community” Karen Smith of Tallahan’s said. “This is a great event and we are very happy to have Calaveras Humane Society (CHS) (http://www.calaverashumane.org) as the beneficiary.”
The proceeds are used by the Calaveras Humane Society to save the lives of dogs and cats by funding their spay and neuter program and by supporting the CHS volunteers who foster the pets while they wait for adoption. CHS will have animals available for adoption at the event.
