Inaugural New Year’s Eve Fur Ball

EVENT COVERED BY RACHEL K. BURRUS

The inaugural New Year’s Eve Fur Ball took place at the Johnson City Country Club on December 31, 2019, hosted by the Washington County, TN/Johnson City Animal Shelter. Guests were dressed in shimmering gowns and formal tuxedos. The evening kicked off with a cocktail hour and hors d’oeuvres, followed by a filet and lobster dinner including a dessert fountain. Celebrations continued with music and dancing until a champagne toast at midnight.

“We hope to make this an annual New Year’s Eve event if successful going into 2020,” said Tammy Davis, Director of the Animal Shelter. “We depend on the community to help us provide the best possible care for homeless animals in our area.” The animal shelter hosts many more events throughout the year similar to the New Year’s Eve Fur Ball to raise awareness and support. “These events are a fun way for people to come together and have a good time while still supporting the shelter and helping animals.”
