Mansfield Animal Shelter

For the fifth year Mansfield Haunted Hollows' successful October production of spooky scenarios, held off Oakland Street, supported Mansfield Animal Shelter. This year, despite bad weather that caused two cancellations, the event brought in a $8,437.00 profit, which was shared by three Mansfield non-profit organizations. In previous years the Haunted Hollows shelter donations (over $30,000.00) went towards completion of the new animal shelter, for which their help was essential. This year their $4,000.00 donation will go towards veterinary expenses for shelter animals, which are covered exclusively by Mansfield Shelter Friends, from donations and fundraisers. For more about Haunted Hollows see www.mansfieldhauntedhollows.com.
