It is sponsored by St. Andrew’ s Society of Pittsburgh and commemorates the signing of Scotland’ s Declaration of Independence. This year’ s event will also celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, and of Bethel Presbyterian Church.
The fun begins at 10 a. m. and runs until 4:30 p. m., with free admission and parking. There will be many vendors selling Scottish memorabilia, information on clans, workshops, great food, raffles, and entertainment, including of course, bagpipers!
The proceeds benefit the St. Andrew’ s Society Scholarship Fund. For more information, visit standrewspittsburgh. org.
BE A LIFELINE FOR ANIMALS
The Animal Lifeline Pittsburgh located in Homestead provides care for rescued animals, including lifesaving transport for at-risk animals.
Volunteers will travel throughout the eastern U. S. to retrieve animals in danger of being euthanized, or those who have been displaced by natural disasters. The animals are transported to a safe shelter where they may be adopted.
Animal Lifeline has a constant need for food and supplies to care for the animals. On the website, there is a gift registry where you can select items from Walmart, Amazon and Chewy. com to be delivered directly to the organization.
If you are able to contribute, volunteer, or adopt / foster an animal, go to the website at animallifelinepgh. org.
As John Grogan, author of“ Marley and Me,” has said,“ A dog doesn’ t care if you’ re rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.” n
