Richmond, VA--Bill's Barbecue, a Richmond favorite since 1930, is hosting a Halloween Cruise-In to benefit Richmond Animal League (RAL).  It's a chance to enjoy an evening out with your four-legged friends, and to support the animals at RAL waiting for homes. 

The animal-friendly event will run from 4pm-10pm on Saturday, October 16th at 927 Myers Street (near Broad and Boulevard).  Bring your own pet, or come to meet a new furry friend.  There will be classic cars, motorcycles, and raffles with drawings every 30 minutes, a 50/50, and an on-site groomer from Shadycrest Grooming offering nail trims and brush-outs to pet owners who make a donation to RAL. 

Bring any item from RAL's wish list and recieve a raffle ticket for drawings that are held every 30 minutes!

CHESTERFIELD (WWBT) - Richmond Animal League’s third annual Best In Show fund-raising campaign is under way.  NBC 12 reporter Sunni Blevins introduced the candidates at a kick-off held last week.  The canidates will compete to solicit the most donations over the next eight weeks, and they all have their sites set on being crowned Best in Show.  This year’s hopefuls are: Tarra Balcom, Dee Bogetti, Ashley Carroll, Suellen Christeller, Carly Keating, Heather Mullican and Natalie Wier.

Best In Show is RAL’s premier fund-raiser for covering the costs of sheltering cats and dogs awaiting adoption. Candidates receive one vote for every dollar they raise.  The candidate with the most votes will be crowned Best In Show at the campaign’s Grand Finale on Friday, November 12, at the Science Museum of Virginia. In addition to the crowning, the Grand Finale will feature live music, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a silent auction of items donated by Richmond-area merchants, among others.
