Peace and Love at Petstock
KNOXVILLE - The 1960s had Woodstock. Now the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine is presenting Petstock, an animal aid benefit concert and auction. The evening program, November 7 at Hollingsworth Auditorium on the UT agricultural campus, will feature family friendly music about animals by singer/songwriter Allen Levi.
Proceeds will benefit the Rescued Animal Assistance Fund for the college's small and large animal departments. Tickets are $15 and $5 for children 10 and under. Children under 3 are free. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Many freebies (including copies of Bark Magazine, horse weight measuring tapes, curry combs, and glow in the dark bracelets) will be available early and the silent auction begins at 5:45 p.m. For a complete list of auction items, including weekend trips, a Dyson vacuum, and UT Lady Vols Guest Coaching positions, visit www.vet.utk.edu/petstock.
