Snowshoe Shuffle benefits Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter
Published
11 years agoon
BIG SKY – Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter and Moonlight Basin are calling all dog owners to bring their dogs and snowshoes to raise funds for homeless and abandoned animals during a tail-wagging, barking good time at the ninth annual Snowshoe Shuffle on Saturday, March 9.
During the event, dog owners get the chance to bring their best friends to Moonlight Basin after hours to snowshoe on a torch-lit, groomed trail followed by chili, a cash bar, a raffle and live music and by Joe Knapp at the Headwaters Grille at the Madison Village Base Area.
Registration and check-in begin at 5:30 p.m. and the snowshoe course opens at 6 p.m. The course will follow a groomed trail and takes about 45-60 minutes to complete.
“Moonlight Basin is proud to host this event and support an organization that gives back to lost and abandoned animals in our community,” said Ersin Ozer, Event Coordinator for Moonlight Basin. “Plus, it’s always fun to watch all the dogs claim the Madison Village Base Area as their stomping grounds for an evening. Dogs and snowshoeing just go hand in hand together.”
Events such as the Snowshoe Shuffle enable Heart of the Valley to not only raise significant dollars from the community, but also to educate the community about the shelter, increase adoptions and provide a good time for people who love their pets.
With its new shelter facility up and running, Heart of the Valley is now able to better serve the community with expanded humane education programs, a new summer day camp and community spay/neuter assistance.
In addition to their new offerings, Heart of the Valley also continues to provide adoption counseling, lost and found services, microchipping, a great volunteer program and loving care for all of our furry friends who are waiting to meet their owners.
“The Snowshoe Shuffle is the shelter’s chance to reach out to the people of Big Sky, gather with dogs and have a fun evening – and we hope to find homes for a few lucky shelter dogs who will also attend,” said Kathryn Hohmann, Development Director for Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter.
This event is made possible by many generous sponsors, including Moonlight Basin, Pretty Paws Mobile Grooming, Northern Lights Trading Company, and Dee-O-Gee.
Megan Paulson is the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Outlaw Partners.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
