Operating locally since 1W0. the organization grew from a group of lobbyists who petitioned for the creation cre-ation of the current shelter facility, dramatically reducing the number of pets euthanized each year. In addition addi-tion to finding homes for animals in Summit County, the organization has also provided over 550 free spays and neuters. "We're trying to address the problem at its root," explained Magan. who estimates that she fostered fos-tered up to 20 cats (mostly kittens) at a time in her basement last summer.

Friends of Animals has organized an Adopt-A-Thon at the lleber Valley Animal Shelter. "We targeted the lleber Valley Shelter specifically this time because it is so crowded. They don 1 have the benefit of us going over there like Summit County docs. They have so many animals now that there are two dogs crowded into one cage." said Magan. explaining that unlike the Summit County shelter, the Hcbcr Shelter does routinely put down dogs and cats that can 1 find homes.

Grateful for the opportun,ty to partici pate in the Kimball show. Craghead explains thai finding space to display her work is an obstacle she continually struggles with. "Rents in town are so high. 1 Tie amounts w e would have to make in turning items over for profit is too high. We couldnl survive. Even with space like the Kimball, it can be very hard to communicate communi-cate and get the word out so that people R-spond. We try ads, signage, to get the -word out between Kimball Junction and Park City." Craghead said. "Once people know we're here, they are always pleased with the selection. Generally when we are selling our artwork directly, the prices are better than you might find in a store." Craghead wants kval residents to know that items in the Kimball show arcn i all necessarily "high art." "couture" items. "h affordable gift items," Craghead said. Some of the artists produce special items for the holidays. Thea1 are a lot of very affordable items, some are $10 and under."
