Comedy Night will leave you Howling with Laughter

ZANESVILLE, OH – Have a laugh at the Y Bridge Brewing Company and support the Animal Shelter Society at the same time.

“Bark at the Moon” comedy night will feature comedians Eric Powell and Taylor “Tator” Russell. Money from the event will go to the Animal Shelter Society. Brewmaster at Y  Bridge Brewing Company is Ray Ballard. Ballard is a Paw-sitive partner of the shelter and has even adopted his cats from there.

“I’ve adopted three cats from them and the two strays that I’ve rescued, they’ve taken care of for me,” said Ballard. “We do fundraisers every month up at Rockers when he has his his car, so I donate beer to that and then whatever proceeds we get goes straight to the shelter.”

Executive Director April Gibson said the community is a non-profit that relies on community support.

“We are 100% nonprofit. We have 123 animals in that building. And so this goes towards the 17 staff are there to take care of them. It takes care of the animals medical needs. Every animal is spayed, neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped before leaving the building and that all adds up. We do pretty well as a non-profit but we could not do what we do without our community and folks like Ray Ballard,” said Gibson.

Tickets for “Bark at the Moon” at the Y-Bridge Brewing Company on Linden Avenue are limited. You can reach out to Ballard at the brewery or Gibson at the shelter to claim yours now. “Bark at the Moon” takes place on July 15 at 6 p.m Tickets are $20 which includes dinner.
