Dec Meet and Greet 2023


Find the Queen FOUND
SHE WAS FOUND. The Queen of Hearts has been reunited with all her Doxies.
At last night’s drawing one ticket was pulled from almost 4,000 tickets. The ticket had the number 16 and when envelope 16 was opened, there was the Queen. The person bought that ticket won half of a jackpot that was over $172,000. They won over $86,000. Congratulations to them
Ronald McDonald House Charities of SD and Dakota Dachshund Rescue will split the other half of the jackpot. Each charity will receive over $43,000.
I want to thank Tom Slattery and the entire staff at JJ's Wine, Spirits & Cigars. They have been hosting this fundraiser for 38 weeks. It could not have been possible without them.

Betty White Callenge
January 17th would have been Betty White's 100th Birthday.
Join the #BettyWhiteChallenge to honor
