Simply text “SHELBY” to 41444 and use “Derby Donation” as the note. This year the party is hosted by The Dixie Flyers, a Birmingham based flyball club. Flyball is a dog sport in which two teams of four dogs race relay-style in parallel lines. The relay includes four hurdles, retrieving a ball from a spring-loaded box and returning to their handler. The Dixie Flyers Club gathers weekly for practice sessions and hosts five local tournaments a year. In an effort to further support Shelby Humane, the Dixie Flyers have arranged a gift basket drawing of baskets valuing anywhere from $200 to $570! Featured themes are Alabama & Auburn Football, Kentucky Derby, Automotive, Doggy, Kitchen and Wine & Cheese. Keep an eye out for the Derby Party Event Page on Facebook to learn how to enter the basket drawings! You’ll want to get your entries in quickly before slots fill up!
