Rainy weather wasn't able to put a damper on festivities for the 1st Paws and Pumpkins event held on the lawn of the Cutrer mansion this past October. This Howl-O-Ween party featured costumed dogs, children, face painting, and an outdoor screening of "It's the Great pumpkin Charlie Brown" The rain held off long enough to gather some donated funding and attention for the many stray animals at the Clarksdale - Coahoma animal shelter. It was a free event sponsored by CARES.
