SPRINGS FEVER
Festival to benefit Jemez Valley no-kill animal rescue group
Get in on some family fun in Jemez Springs this weekend. The annual Cabin Fever Festival will be held from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25.
A portion of all proceeds will benefit Jemez Valley Animal Amigos — a no-kill rescue group.
In addition, the Jemez Springs Community Library will be selling more than a dozen books by the late author Tony Hillerman — some which are signed — as part of its book sale.
The festival will feature more than half a dozen professional chain-saw carvers from Sandia Bear Co. who will transform
wood into works of art throughout the event.
Carvings will be auctioned off beginning at 2 p.m., to benefit Animal Amigos.
Live music will be provided by Austin Van and Train Wreck Blues Band.
Also, for the first time at the event, adults 21 and over can enjoy a brew at the Beer Garden.
Several contests will take place at the event, including the Pet Food Gone Wild Dog Costume Contest, King Arthur Pie and Cobbler Baking Contest and Cross Cut Saw Competition.
The festival includes arts and crafts, food, vendors and Chicken Poop Bingo, where chickens ultimately decide who will win cash prizes. A silent auction featuring dozens of unusual donated items will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. to raise money for Animal Amigos.
