Yay! How cute! Here’s the skinny from DowntownRaleigh.com:
Come out to meet some friendly, adoptable dogs from the SPCA. Check out our pet section of organic and innovative products for our animal friends. Any adoptions that day from the SPCA as a result of the event will get you a free bag of food and a special deal coupon good for pet products at Seaboard Ace Hardware.

…when Buckhead’s got Tres de Mayo!!
Starting at 1pm tomorrow, we’re doing it block party style again with lots of live music, Corona specials, and headline act… The Embers!!
As a special treat for my blog readers, I have free – YES FREE – tickets ($5 at the door) for any one who reposts this absolutely pertinent info and either leaves me a comment telling me so, or leaves me a link to it! Once you do it… we’ll chat specifics for getting you your tickets! (I’ll give you tickets for you and few guests!)
Email me at Lisa.Jeffries@gmail.com or NCSULilWolf@gmail.com if you haven’t heard from me by 11pm tonight. I have land steward training in Wilmington in the AM, but if you post the blog early tomorrow AM, we’ll take care of it when I get back tomorrow afternoon!
I can’t wait to see you all there – please come find me and say hello!
My original post, lives here.
Walnut Creek, (formerly Alltel Pavilion), Time Warner Cable whatever it is now – identity crisis aside – has done an EXCELLENT job putting together an exciting “season” (I mean, it does last from April to October) for 2008! Last year, I would have swore up and down they were on the verge of going out of business having lack luster events planned other than the standard six or seven country concerts and the loss of their title sponsor.
This year however, a better Mega-Ticket line-up including Tim McGraw, and incorporating Maroon 5, Tom Petty, Journey, James Taylor, and Jack Johnson into their schedule guarantees that less of my paycheck will ever make it into savings.
Are you an Outlook or Google calendar junkie like me? I added the events into a comma separated values file (perfect for importing) of almost all of the shows. Anything that gets added from here may or may not get updated… but I’m saving everyone a good 30 minutes.
Thanks Ashton!
I think taking in a movie outside under the stars sounds just darling! If you’re game (and who wouldn’t be for only $3.00!) check out: Movies By Moonlight at Koka Booth Amphitheatre at Regency Park.
Here’s a quick look at the Thursday night summer schedule:
July 3: Hairspray
July 10: A Prairie Home Companion

Venue Gates/Box Office Open at 7pm and the movies start at dusk. Come early and enjoy live music by some of the regions most talented artists!”
After you get your fill of The Embers at North Hills, join me at Buckhead in supporting SUCH a great cause and those boys from Alpha Sig who hold a special place in my heart 🙂
