Quilting for Critters
The Cochrane and Area Humane Society is hosting an online auction for a one-of-a-kind, hand-made, double size quilt. The hand-crafted blanket was made by a local group of volunteers who call themselves Quilting for Critters. In previous years, the Cochrane and Area Humane Society ran raffles for the quilts donated to the shelter, but this year, they are turning the event digital in hopes of raising crucial funds. The online auction begins on Thursday (March 11) at 12 p.m., where the quilt will be unveiled, and will run until 4 p.m. on Sunday (March 14). Visit the Cochrane and Area Humane Society on Facebook for more information.
