In connection with the Greater Richmond SPCA and Richmond International Raceway, Farmer’s Foods gave dog lovers an opportunity to enter their dog’s photo with contact information at store locations. Donations were welcome and forwarded to the Greater Richmond SPCA, who was very grateful for any help managing the increase number of abandoned and hungry animals due to the economic difficulties affecting their owners.
The event was a very exciting way for average people with average dogs to be drawn either for 4 tickets to Richmond’s Big Saturday Night Spring Race or “Steaks For A Month”. Over 50 dogs were entered and the winner picking process was extremely difficult. All entries received a letter of appreciation and an “Honorable Mention”.
Cat lovers won’t be left out. A similar contest is planned for Richmond’s Big Saturday Night Race in the fall with contestants being our feline loved buddies. Again, donations will always be forwarded to the SPCA.
