Night At the Races will Benefit Animal Shelter

Berea ARF will host a new event, A Night at the Races, on Friday, May 17, at Keller Hall of St. Adalbert Parish 66 Adalbert St. in Berea, from 6:30 - 10:30 p.m.

Tickets are $20 and are sold in advance, and include an all-you-can-eat pasta, pizza, salad and sandwich buffet catered by Stancato’s, along with a homemade dessert buffet and soft drinks. A cash bar for wine and beer will be available, along with gourmet and themed raffle baskets, sideboard betting and 50/50 raffle.

A Night at the Races features real wagering on exciting video horse races projected on a huge screen. Attendees can select their horses for each race, place $2 bets at the window and win real money when their horse wins.

“If you haven’t been to a Night at the Races event, you’re in for a real treat,” said Clare Larca, ARF Board president. “This is a great way for members of the community to support the animals of ARF and have a lot of fun at the same time." 

The group’s T-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies will be available for sale, along with other unique animal-related merchandise. Adoptable cats, kittens and dogs from the shelter will be on hand to greet guests. Photos of all the animals available for adoption will be displayed, as well.
