Even though Fair Board Spokesperson Brandi Shoemaker did not answer specific questions, she says that the situation developed after the Fair Board’s February meeting. The Board will issue a formal statement at Monday’s meeting. Where does Prairie Paws fit into this situation? Prairie Paws Public Relations Coordinator Craig Evans says that even though selling the cemetery and the original animal shelter was a very difficult one, it was the best decision.
The meeting will be held at 8 o’clock at Celebration Hall on the Fairgrounds in Ottawa.
