A fantastic event and fundraiser by the Evergreen Arboretum And Gardens!

We have 14 dogs, 10 cats and just 3 stuffed animals running so far. One mayor from each category will win, but you can't win if you never enter! Signs can be placed on the Campaign Trail in the Arboretum. It's as easy as laminating an 8.5x11 piece of paper mounted on a stake! Or make a yard sign at a printer like Staples. Get in the game and raise money for the Shelter and the Arb. It's a win-win as they say...
