Chili Supper & Paw Paw Bazaar!
APL's Chili Supper is October 25th and you can dine-in or carry-out! The return of a fan favorite - you can reserve a quart of chili to take home with you! Our Paw Paw Patch Bazaar will be there too! This is a great way to get your yearly dose of delicious chili, start your Christmas shopping early, and help out sick, injured, and homeless animals!
The Animal Protective League presents our Chili Supper and Paw Paw Patch Bazaar on Sunday, October 25th, at the Columbian Grand Hall, located at 2200 Meadowbrook Road, in Springfield. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Tickets are $12 per person and can be purchased online or at the event. Each ticket includes a bowl of chili (with or without meat), choice of one side consisting of either a hot dog or cornbread, choice of dessert and a drink. Participants may dine-in or carry out their meals.
The annual Paw Paw Patch Bazaar will offer baked goods and many unique and seasonal craft items. The new APL Fall clothing line will be for sale and the organization will also be taking orders for Christmas greenery, which is sold each year to support APL and its programs. All proceeds from the annual Chili Supper and Paw Paw Bazaar benefit APL homeless cats and dogs.
APL will also have adoptable animals within the Mobile Adoption Unit (MAU) from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.
