Due to the COVID spike, Friends of Animals feels it would be best to have a very large, three-day auction/raffle instead of the annual spring bingo.

This will allow for people to keep a safer distance and to not be in one area for an extended period of time. Food will also be sold.

The event will be held at the Orioles in Lehighton on April 29 and 30 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and May 1 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines will be followed and masks are preferred.

Donations are being accepted for this event, and they should be dropped off at the shelter by April 1.
