“What better way to spread holiday cheer than to host a benefit for the homeless animals in Washington County,” Gordon said.

“Anything we can do to help the humane society is worth the effort,” Milsap said.

“We will have a nice variety of wines at different price points for folks to try,” said Shawn Clopper of Monument Fine Wines.

“John, Cynthia and I really look forward to this event.”

The humane society is at 13011 Maugansville Road in Hagerstown. Call 301-733-2060 or go to www.hswcmd.org for information on animal-related issues, directions to the shelter and information about programs and services.
