[8:30am-12:30pm] AVL Humane Society Hiking Hounds
- Description:
- Hiking Hounds -- June 27th Hike
When Jun 27, 2010
from 08:30 am to 12:30 pm
Where Asheville Humane Society Shelter, 72 Lee's Creek Rd
Contact Name Jenny White
Contact Email ahshikinghounds@yahoo.com
The main purpose of the "Hiking Hounds" is for AHS volunteers and shelter dogs to have fun in the beautiful outdoors of Western North Carolina.
Besides getting fresh air with our canine hikers, Hiking Hounds adds an enriching activity to a dog's stay at the shelter, exposes dogs to new things and reinforces obedience, burns off some energy in a positive way, increases adoptability by having more exposure to the public, and offers volunteers a new way to interact with the animals.
New volunteers meet at 8:30 AM at the shelter on the scheduled day for a quick orientation. Volunteers who have already attended the orientation can arrive at 9:00 AM. Volunteers fill out an application and sign a waiver prior to departure.
Volunteers are matched up with appropriate dogs, pre-selected by shelter staff and the Hiking Hound Coordinator.
If you would like to participate, contact us directly via email at ahshikinghounds@yahoo.com before the hike!
Visit www.ashevillehumane.org for more information.

[3:00pm] Brevard Little Theatre presents "The Mousetrap"
- Description:
- The third production of the Brevard Little Theatre’s 60th season, The Mousetrap, one of the most popular mysteries by Agatha Christie, will open on Friday, June 18 for six performances.
The director of the production, Asheville’s Michael Wilson, is directing in Brevard for the first time. The cast is evenly split between actors from Brevard and Asheville. It is comprised of Michele & Marvin Barg, Michael Boulos, Sonia Arnold, L. Joseph Barcia, Jr., Ann Strother, Mandi Hart and Scott Bean. Maureen Edick is the producer and Liz Malzone the stage manager.
The Mousetrap originally opened in London in 1952 and, with over 24,000 performances so far, is now the longest running show of the modern era. The play is also known for its twist at the end that audience members are always asked not to reveal. Previously performed by BLT in 2000, The Mousetrap is being reprised by popular request.
The story is about a young couple, Mollie and Giles Ralston, who have started up a new hotel in the converted Monkswell Manor. They are snowed in together with four guests and an additional traveller, who ran his car into a snowdrift.
A policeman named Trotter arrives on skis to inform the group that he believes a murderer is on his way to the hotel, following the mysterious death of a woman in London. When one of the hotel's guests is killed, they realize that the murderer is already there. The suspicion falls first on an erratic young man who fits the description of the supposed murderer. However, it quickly transpires that the killer could be any one of the guests, or even the hosts themselves. The Mousetrap keeps the audience guessing the entire time.
The play will be performed the two weekends of June 18th and June 25th at the American Legion Hall on East Jordan St. in Brevard.
Play dates and curtain times are: June 18, 19, 25, and 26 - 8:00 pm, and June 20 and 27 - 3:00 pm.
For additional information or to make reservations, contact BLT at 828.884.BLTR [2587]. Additional information is also available at the BLT website: www.brevardlittletheatre.com.
