 [show_avatar email=jasnoch1510@msn.com]In celebration of our new name and our excitement about the future of our organization, the Prairie’s Edge Humane Society, (formerly the Rice County Humane Society), will host an open house on Saturday, April 24 from 12 noon to 3 pm. Events will include food, face paint, tours of the facility, and of course the opportunity to meet and adopt our wonderful animals. We are undergoing a physical facelift thanks to donated materials and volunteer labor! The painting party in fact starts this Saturday, April 3rd. Please call 507-334-7117 if you would like to offer your time and talents.
Also, we are conducting a membership drive starting in April. We will be changing to once a year renewals and all members will be contacted by mail. A new opportunity is a sustaining membership. Monthly donations given automatically through a bank account or credit card receive a thank you gift; best of all, members may choose the amount of their sustaining gift.
Please join us at our open house and consider a sustaining membership.
- Kathy Jasnoch, President, Prairie’s Edge Humane Society.

 On Thursday, February 25th, I will premiere “Harvest”, my latest documentary. Three years in the making, the hour-long film follows sculptor Ray Jacobson as he creates the sculpture. The film reveals the complex process of lost-wax casting, the astounding creativity of the artist and the marvelous relationships that were formed among members of our remarkable community.
The screening will take place in the Northfield High School Auditorium at 7:30 pm. Doors open at 7 pm. Free and open to the public. A reception will follow.
