On Saturday the 1st October we held a fun day at our new Kirkham branch, the weather stayed fine and the surgery was packed with clients and non clients wanting to join in with the fun.
The most popular attractions had to be the face painter 'Smarty Faces' (who didn't stop for a break in the four hours she was there) and Hands On Animals who amazed the visitors with their selection of animals and reptiles including a snake, sugar glider and tarantula.
Also in attendance were three local charities, Lancashire Cat Rescue (who came along with six very cute kittens that they currently have to rehome), the Northen Greyhound Rescue (who attended with a number of their re-homed greyhounds) and the Preston Hedgehog Rescue (who also bought along some Hedgehogs they currently have in their care.)
A big thank you also goes to Andrea Johnson (Andrea Johnson Photography) for supporting the event and for offering a portrait shoot for the winner of the raffle she ran on the day and Amanda from VetsNow our out of hours service who had a stand in our operating theatre where she provided plenty of information on emergency care and an ipod shuffle for the raffle.
Finally thank you to all our clients, staff and sponsors who were there to help and support the charity fun day!
