Sunday, September 21, 2003
1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Machipongo, VA – United Poultry Concerns President Karen Davis will speak at Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary’s biggest event of the year – and everyone’s invited! Come enjoy live music, great food from Thyme Square, a silent auction, Candy Cane the clown, and strolling around to meet the rescued animals at their amazing sanctuary in Poolesville, Maryland.

Karen Davis will speak about “What Sanctuaries Teach Us about Chickens and Turkeys.” Drawing upon her own experience of getting to know chickens and turkeys, Karen will talk about how these birds inspired her to start a national advocacy organization and sanctuary on their behalf and what wonderful teachers and friends they are.

Funds raised will be used to continue to rescue and provide permanent refuge for abused and abandoned farm animals and rehabilitated wildlife at Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary. RSVP requested. To ensure the safety and happiness of the rescued animals, no dogs please.
