Hi friends! Reef the fox here with your weekly “Reef’s Report.” I’m typing this on Sept. 25, so by Thursday, Sept. 29, I hope the storm has passed without incident. I did scream at the TV a lot, so I think Ian got scared and headed out west. 

Tickets go on sale for our first official fundraising event, Fox Trot at Sea, on Saturday. Oct 1. For $60, a ticket will get you a two-hour sunset cruise and cocktail party all to benefit the foxes of Pawsitive Beginnings. Passengers will receive a welcome bag with some goodies inside, including a reusable cup that is good for one free drink on board the boat. There are some great silent auction items to bid on as well as raffle items. You will be able to purchase tickets and raffle tickets in advance right on our website starting this Saturday. We have a lot of amazing sponsors for the event so as it gets closer I will be highlighting all of them right here in the Upper Keys Weekly, who has generously offered to be an advertising sponsor for us.

Also, this Saturday down at Islamorada Brewery is Dogtoberfest. From 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., bring your furry friend to Octoberfest at Islamorada Brewery & Distillery. The event will include drinks, food, games, music and fun for pets and people. This is a free event for all ages and all friendly dogs. Bring your pup and your peeps to chill at Islamorada Brewery & Distillery for the celebration of Oktoberfest, fall, and fun. Tapping Oktoberfest Lager and “puptails” to keep you both hydrated. Come ready to win our silly “Top Dog” Olympics, then stick around for the Lower Mat Cats and the costume contest.

Anywho, that’s all for this week. I still haven’t received my gift from Dateline, NBC. I hope they didn’t forget about their biggest fan? Keep up with all of our foxy chaos by following the links to our social media accounts. You can find all that information on our website at pawsitivebeginnings.org

Until next time, Reef, over and out!
