pet for life, check out
Prairie Paws Rescue,

in loving homes. Many of their dogs are from puppy mills -
purebred or designer dogs - who have never had a special family of
their own. If you would like to be a foster parent, or if you
would like to adopt a pet, please check out their website where you

Carrington Calendar Contest!
That's right! Here's your chance to have one of your Carrington photos in a 2011 Carrington Calendar. Sounds like a great idea from the Chamber of Commerce! Just adhere to the following rules: 1. The photo must be taken in the Carrington (Foster County) area. 2. It must depict something related to Carrington. 3. It must be at least 300 dpi quality and can be submitted electronically. If you have questions, please contact Laurie Dietz at the Chamber office by phone (652-2524) or e-mail.
Here's an example of a photo that might go on a Carrington calendar: one of my own favorite Carrington pictures. Although, I think a more likely picture to be chosen would be one where you show children with Santa on a hayride at the Putnam House. YOU just might have that perfect December picture in your own collection!
