The PALS annual plant sale raised money for the animal society

On a clear blue sky and hot day, Protect Animal Life Society (PALS) held its plant sale last Saturday, May 11, the popular annual occasion to raise funds to support various PALS initiatives.

“We had many people stop by to purchase plants for their spring gardening needs,” said Kathy Smith.

But plants weren’t the only sought-after prizes. A raffle prize of $1,000 was also awarded the same day, tickets for which had been on sale since the end of March.  Darren Hewat of Nakusp was the winner of the cool grand, and he graciously made a substantial donation back to PALS.

“PALS receives a lot of support from various communities in the Nakusp area,” Smith told the Arrow Lakes News. “ We’d like to thank everyone who donated their time, plants, bought raffle tickets and came to the plant sale.”

A lot of the remaining plants were sold during the first Farmers’ Market in Nakusp on the May long weekend.

“We found new homes for most of the plants which was great,” said Smith, who added that there is a lot of community support for PALS and the society is grateful.
