Port Angeles Washington - The Authentic Northwest.

Come join us on Saturday October 2nd at Maurice's, the clothing boutique (104 W. First St.) For the second annual "Rescues & Runaways" fashion show. At the Conrad Dyar Memorial Fountain, outside the shop at First and Laurel streets, models will show off Maurice's fall fashions, along with a few of the adoptable animals at the Olympic Peninsula Humane Society. Music for the show will start at 2 p.m., and admission is free. There will also be a silent auction, with all of the proceeds going to the Humane Society. Maurice's is also collecting donations of pet food, cat litter, pet toys, cleaning supplies and plain old cash for the Humane Society, whose shelter is located at 2105 West U.S. Highway 101. Those who come in with donations of money or pet supplies will receive coupons for 20 percent off regular-priced items at Maurice's. The Olympic Peninsula Humane Society is "overwhelmed" with adult dogs and cats, so they are offering a 50 percent discount on adoption fees, which range from $35 to $100. On Saturday, just a few adoptable dogs will attend the downtown Port Angeles show, while the Humane Society will have its "look book," an album of dogs and cats needing homes, on hand for would-be adopters to thumb through. It's a great cause and a fun way to kick of the fall season! For details about the Rescues & Runaways event, visit www.maurices.com or phone 360-452-2266.
