Television News Anchor and Sheriff Head Gala For Animals

Fay Fredricks to host and Sheriff Joe Arpaio to chair April 17 gala at
WestWorld

 

Phoenix, AZ.  In Defense of Animals announced today that Fay Fredricks,
lovely Channel 12 news anchor and accomplished horsewoman, will host
their annual benefit, To the Beat of Flying Hooves and the Wag of Happy
Tails 2004, to be held on Saturday, April 17, 2004 at WestWorld of
Scottsdale's Brett's Barn.  

 

Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been named honorary event chair of the gala.
Dinner with Arizona's tough on animal abuse Sheriff and his lovely wife
will be a premium live auction item at the April benefit.  All proceeds
from the event will go directly to fund the care of animals rescued by
IDA through the Arizona Conquistador Equine Rescue Program and the IDA
Arizona Animal Rescue Fund. 

 

Guests will begin the evening by walking a red carpet of hooves and paws
to personally meet beautiful horses, tail-wagging dogs, and personality
filled burros who have been rescued by In Defense of Animals and by
members of IDA's Conquistador Equine Rescue Coalition.   Silent and live
auctions, a gourmet dinner, and music by Arizona's premier country band,
Rondavous, will round out the evening.  IDA volunteer and dancer
extraordinaire, Tammi Wickett, will offer authentic Texas two-step
lessons to guests who are game.

  

Host, Fay Fredricks; Channel 5 television morning news anchor, Christina
Wofford; Channel 5 evening news anchor, Diana Sullivan; Sonoran News
equine columnist, Peggy Dyer-Brock; and, PETS 911 Auxiliary President,
Bari Mears, will head the list of community members presenting awards to
outstanding champions for Arizona animals.  Among those slated to
receive awards are Congressman J.D. Hayworth, co-sponsor of the Horse
Slaughter Prevention Act now in the United States Congress, and Ed Boks,
former director of Maricopa County Animal Care & Control and Director of
NYC Animal Care & Control.

Animals at 800-338-4451. Tickets are $100.00 per person.  100% of all
