Published 07/09/08 06:23:36
day 12's weather was the worst for consistency of soaking misery. i really don't like theme parks at the best of times but this promised some zooage so i thought it might be ok. but it was too wet to pop out to see the animals. there were a few inside though, but it was hot and noisey the farm itself was obviously expecting the worst ghost train out of action ? spooky it's a comedy electric shock chair. probably for parents who've had as much as they can take (and put themselves or their little ones in it, depending on their state of mind) mice are very successful creatures. at what ? what does this mean ? this was a small spot of loveliness. and this comedian chap below was actually the highlight for me. he was really good at his job and seemed to be really enjoying himself. worth the admission price alone i'd say. link | Comments (0) | pembroke08 |

Published 07/09/08 01:35:22
MSPCA-Angell Walk for Animals Sunday, September 9, 11am-2pm Boston Common (also in Springfield, Brockton, Cape Cod, and Martha's Vineyard) Sign Up! If you like a little woof or meow (or chirp or neigh) in your life from time to time, consider heading to Boston Common tomorrow morning to participate in the MSPCA-Angell Walk for Animals. The walk around the Common starts at noon and will be about 1.5 miles long, beginning and ending on Tremont between the Park Street and Boylston T stops. Dogs are welcome but must be leashed. For safety reasons, leave other pets at home. Registration is $25, which includes an MSPCA t-shirt, and you're encouraged to solicit additional donations for your walk. Fundraisers reaching various milestones will receive cool prizes, the most rad being your own GPS device to help orient you on future walks. The MSPCA has set a $200,000 fund-raising goal for the event; they have currently raised $182,222.74, so could still use your help! The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals-Angell Animal Medical Center (MSPCA-Angell) is both a humane society and a veterinary hospital that cares for more than a quarter million animals each year. The nonprofit society depends on donations for financing, as it does not receive any government funding. If you like beer even more than you like animals, you're in luck-- BeerAdvocate has a team that will be meeting up for drinks afterward. Supporting animals and alcohol--what could be better? |
