CRARL Holiday Benefits

Pet Photos with Santa

The Camden-Rockport Animal Rescue League, in association with Critter Outfitter, ChelTed Gallery, and Mark Haskell Photography, is offering two opportunities for pets to have their photos taken with Santa Claus. The first date, November 3, allows ample time for people to enclose the photos with their Christmas cards, and the second date, December 2, coincides with downtown Camden's Christmas by the Sea celebration. Each event will take place at Critter Outfitter, 56 Elm Street (Camden), from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Noted local actor Terry Bregy will assume the role of Santa. The admission charge is $20, for which customers will receive a 4 by 6 print. There will also be many other items for customers to order, including not only holiday cards and additional prints in varying sizes and designs, but also a CD of the photo(s) and customizable photo stockings and ceramic picture ornaments. The prices for the various photo options and gifts will range from $10 to $30. All profits from the purchases will benefit the shelter cats and dogs. For more information, visit www.crarl.org or e-mail crarlboard@crarl.org with any questions. CRARL is a private, no-kill shelter that provides a safe, comforting environment for animals in need of loving, permanent homes.
