Trick or Treat?
Lewiston’S Jackie Meldrum and her four-year-old Rottweiler, Mercedes, got into the spirit of the day.
Plenty of both for Halloween hounds
THIS was one event for dogs where there were a few tricks and certainly some treats! Adelaide Plains Kennel and Obedience Club (APKOC) held a fun Halloween-themed event last Saturday, October 29, when about 50 people and their four-legged friends turned out for the event. With many dressed in costumes (even a few pets put their hand up for best
dressed), the day included obedience demonstrations, the 11-legged race – where two people and their dogs took part in the traditional three-legged race – and a pirate-themed historical
re-enactment by The Blue Company. Even the food had a Halloween theme, with pastry jack-o-lanterns, honey-biscuit ghosts and green R.I.P gravestone cakes.
APKOC president, Dennis Bilney, said the inaugural event was a great day for all involved, and hoped the club would put on more community events in the future.

Kaidy and Rene’s RED CROSS CONNECTION:
inside
Two Wells’ newest Red Cross “face” is eight-month-old Kaidy Pirri who is pictured here with great-grandmother Rene Launer. Youngest child of Candice and Matt Pirri, Kaidy will represent the group while raising funds over the next nine months. The family has already been holding weekly raffles at the local
bowls club and plans are underway for a white elephant sale. One person who certainly knows a thing or two about cake stalls and raffles, is little Kaidy’s great-grandmother, Rene Launer. Rene has been a member of Two Wells Red Cross for more than 40 years, with the sprightly 96-year-old saying the organisation is terrific.
“They do a marvelous job,” she said. “They work so hard and do so much.” During World War 2 Rene’s daughter, Betty, was also a Red Cross baby. If you get the chance, why not support gorgeous Kaidy and the Red Cross? n Little Gemma Farr raised $8,547 – See page 16.
