If you plan to be a part of the annual Kitsap Humane Society’s auction, grab those tickets now.

Tickets are now on sale for Kitsap Humane Society’s (KHS) 20th annual Animal Krackers dinner auction, slated for Sept. 28.

The event will be from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Kitsap Conference Center in Bremerton.

Last year, Animal Krackers sold out at 350 attendees and is expected to be just as popular this year.

Ticket prices go up Sept. 6, so attendees are encouraged to purchase early.

Tickets may be purchased online at kitsap-humane.org/our-platinum-year-event or by calling special events coordinator Rachel Bearbower at 360-692-6977 ext. 1216.

“KHS cares for almost 5,000 animals per year and maintains a 94 percent lives saved rate, one of the highest in the U.S.,” said executive director Eric Stevens. “The financial support gained from Animal Krackers is important to the growth and sustainability of the organization. It’s also a lot of fun for animal lovers — it’s all about them.”

Animal Krackers is made possible by the title sponsor, the Petco Foundation. Kitsap Bank, Cookie’s Mommy and Daddy, and Friends of KHS are also major sponsors.

This year’s auctioneer will be Brady Hammerich of Stokes Auction House in Bremerton, and the announcer will be Kristin Eddings, Miss Washington 2006.

Kitsap Humane Society is a private, non-profit charitable organization that has been caring for animals in need since 1908.
