Tickets to the Ottawa Humane Society's fabulous Fur Ball are going fast, so get yours now at www.ottawahumane.ca!! The theme this year is 'Beauty and the Beast', and honorary chair Laureen Harper returns for an evening of music, spectacular auction items, and gastronomic delights by Thyme and Again. Its all happening at the National Gallery on Saturday March 29th.
