Two events, an art exhibit opening and a pottery auction and party, will be held this weekend to raise
money for the Wood County Humane Society.
On Friday an opening reception for an exhibit of art by area adults and children will be held at Myles

and the Bowling Green Arts Council.
The exhibit features original work by children as young as 5 through adults.
Cards have been printed featuring select award winning images. The cards will be on sale at the reception
and at other locations around the city. Proceeds will benefit the Humane Society.
Award winners include: Vicki Lee, Best Domestic Animal, "Dancing Party Cats"; Micah Smith, Best
Wild Animal, "The Original Duck Face"; Gillian Fruth, first place kindergarten through grade
4, "Woodland Critters" and second place Madison Poiry, "Majestic Unicorn"; Kirstyn

The exhibit will run through April 30.
On Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m. Manabigama Pottery Center, 13270 Bishop Road. Bowling Green, will host a
fundraiser that brings together many of Northwest Ohio’s finest ceramic artists to raise money for the
WCHS and Nature’s Nursery Center for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation Education, in Whitehouse,
that provides medical care to injured and orphaned wild animals and conducts nature education programs
for children and adults.
More than a dozen ceramic artists will donate work for a silent auction with 100 percent of the proceeds
going to the two charities. Artists will sell other work with 30 percent of the proceeds benefiting the
two charities.
The event will also feature live music as well as wine and light refreshments.
