Tickets now on sale for Animal Shelter 'Boo Bash'
Ticket sales began Sept. 1 for the Euclid Animal Shelter’s next major fund-raiser—the annual Clam Jam and Boo Bash—which will be held this year at the Manor Party Center on Rockwell Drive in Euclid.
Euclid Pet Pals, the volunteer organization that supports the local haven for homeless animals, sponsors this event, scheduled Oct. 28. Tickets are $40 per person.
The fund-raiser was given the “Boo Bash” moniker since it is usually held quite close to Halloween. In past years, some of the attendees have shown up in costume.
Tickets for the clambake-style event are available at the shelter, located at 25100 Lakeland Boulevard, which runs alongside the Interstate 90 freeway. It is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday evenings.

Cat sale still on! Currently, the animal shelter has some 35 cats available for adoption, including about a dozen adult cats. Since they are often difficult to find new homes, Euclid Pet Pals has reduced the adoption fee for the older cats to a mere $10. The fee includes a veterinary exam and vaccinations. The fee for kittens is $35, which is half the normal rate of $70.
For more information, call the shelter at (216) 289-2057 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays or 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Or visit the Euclid Pet Pals website at www.euclidpetpals.net.
