The Humane Society of Ventura County has found a new canyon – Ventura’s Arroyo Verde Park – for its fifth annual “Cats in the Canyon & Hounds in the Hollow” fund-raiser set for Sunday, Oct. 9. Proceeds go to the care of animals in need throughout Ventura County.

This year’s event, which will feature a Southwestern-style dinner, silent auction, raffle and exhibits, will run from 2 to 6 p.m. at the park, located on Foothill Road at Day Road. The Iron Mountain Boys will provide musical entertainment.

In addition, there will be K-9 agility and training demonstrations, animal wellness exhibits and attendees also will get a chance to visit with animals from the nonprofit’s Ojai shelter and watch the shelter’s “Dogs on Parade.” The event is a celebration of shelter pets; attendees are asked to leave their own pets at home.

Tickets purchased in advance are $40 for adults and $20 for children 12 and under and include a free parking pass. Tickets bought on site will be $50 and $25 plus a $5 parking pass at the park entrance.

For tickets or more information, call 646-6505 or hsvc.org.
