This afternoon, Leelanau.com is going to Premonitions Pizza and Arcade​ in Suttons Bay to talk with Deane Widgren of the Cherryland Humane Society​ about the great work the Society is doing for our four legged friends and learn more about Premonitions’ “Play for Paws” fundraiser for CHS that runs from from November 1st through December 17th. If you bring in essential items for pets and the shelter the good folks at Premonitions will reward you with FREE arcade time!

We’d love to have YOUR questions about what the Cherryland Humane Society does and how you can help so please share them in the comments and tune in later today for the interview.

I can’t think of a better representative of Leelanau dogdom than Major, and this shot of him exploring Leelanau’s Ice Caves in March of 2014 off Gills Pier is one of the best! More of Major in Mark’s “Major” photo album on Flickr.
