A tailgate party at River Bluff Brewery will help raise money for the St. Joseph Animal Shelter, and also give pets a chance to find a new home.
Purina will be wrapping up their month long Raise a Pint for Pups event with the party, that will feature adoptable dogs and puppies, and also an appearance from KC Wolf.
Nikki Olt with Purina says also to help raise money for the shelter there will be two raffles, a basket raffle and a raffle for a Chiefs experience
"The winner will receive four Chiefs tickets with a parking pass and a tailgate bundle, including a $200 Clark's Custom Meats card, and this is for the Chiefs vs Saints game and it's in section 106," Olt tells KFEQ/St. Joseph Post. "The Animal Shelter will be doing hot dogs for donations, and we'll be selling shirts and glassware."
During the event dogs and puppies will be on site starting at 1pm, Purina will help cover the adoption fees of those dogs during the event.
Olt says during the tailgate at River Bluff will also have a way to benefit the animal shelter
"For every Arrowhead Red that is purchased at River Bluff Brewing there's also going to be $1 donated to the animal shelter as well," Olt says. "So, the shirts, glassware, raffle tickets, everything that day as well as what we've been selling the 5th through now, will be going to the animal shelter."
The St. Joseph Animal Shelter will also have food available for purchase during the event to raise money. KC Wolf will be there at 1pm.
The tailgate will kick off at 11am on Sunday at River Bluff Brewery in downtown St. Joseph
