Animal Protection Guild fashion show benefits spay-neuter program
By Betty O'Neill-Roderick
Special to the Beacon Journal
Published on Monday, Oct 01, 2007
There's an old theater adage: Don't get on stage with children and animals because they'll steal the show.
That adage held true Saturday afternoon, when the Animal Protection Guild presented its first fashion show, It's Raining Cats and Dogs at Community Christian Church in North Canton. Showstoppers included Ethan and Ryan Hancock and their dog Onyx; Paige Goss, accompanied by Carlos; Madyson, Emmalee and Audrey Gabriele, with Abercrombie; Megan Mansfield with Ginger; Jessica Wagner with Bailey; Stephanie Jeffries accompanied by Waffles and Beaner; and McKenzie Quartz, who carried an adorable Black Lab puppy from the Stark County Humane Society.
Terry St. Clair was commentator for the showing of women's fashions from Vita II of Hartville, and Gymboree at Belden Village provided the children's clothing.
Tom and Marsha Knouff of Celebrations in Sound provided music, including a rousing Who Let the Dogs Out for the finale. Kathi Webber, who chaired the event, thanked the crowd of 250 for their support and said all funds raised would benefit the group's low-cost spay and neuter program.
''Animals are my passion,'' Webber said. She encouraged everyone to adopt a pet from an animal shelter.
Lou Criswell and Jackie Godbey from the Stark County Humane Society brought along adorable kittens and puppies available for adoption. Rosemary Bresson and Ray Bules, along with Tinsel, greeted guests before Tinsel changed into formal attire for a show ap pearance with Betsy Biros-Bules. Brenda Seely practiced on the runway with Izzy, a rescued Greyhound in Ohio State attire, who was accompanied by Kathy Preston.
Mitchell Quartz, 10, helped Joe Seely sell raffle tickets for the basket raffle that surrounded the room, and Chad Duplain helped Kathy Krohm in selling pet treats.
Diesel, the McKinley Bulldogs mascot greeted fans, accompanied by Connie Peloso.
Gabe's Catering provided the luncheon.
