Pine Mountain to hold Good Shepherd benefit

EUREKA SPRINGS -- Pine Mountain Theater will present a free performance of its annual holiday show, "A Season of Celebration," Thursday, Nov. 19, at 7:30 p.m. to benefit the Good Shepherd Humane Society.

Admission to the show is free for all area residents but donations of cash or supply items will be accepted. Some supply items needed include: 30-gallon and 50-gallon trash bags; Sunburst with bleach laundry detergent; paper towels; bathroom towels; regular bleach; Dial soap; window cleaner; disposable gloves; latex gloves; blankets; pillows; pillow cases; alcohol; hydrogen peroxide; cotton balls; Q-tips; and kitty litter. Do not donate dog or cat food as they use special formula feed.

"A Season of Celebration" is a seasonal production show that highlights the Thanksgiving, Veterans Day and Christmas holidays and features segments of the regular Pine Mountain Theater show.

Buster the Bloodhound

In addition to Mike and Dale Bishop, comedian Scott Dewbre and the Pine Mountain Band, there will be a special appearance by Buster the Bloodhound.

Buster, an 18-month-old Bloodhound, recently adopted by Mike and Dale from the South Central Bloodhound Club Rescue, has already become a favorite of theater attendees and is an ambassador for animal adoption programs. His nightly appearance in the show gives Mike the chance to encourage audience members to support their local humane societies and animal shelters.

"A Season of Celebration" will be performed nightly except Sunday through Nov. 21, then Friday and Saturday nights through Dec. 12. Show time is 8 p.m. with a Gospel pre-show at 7:30 p.m.
