Children are encouraged to display their love for animals during Bideawee’s “Love Your Pet Art Contest and Expo.”  Students in grades K-8th can submit their artwork to the Adoption Center at Bideawee in Westhampton now through February 5, 2012. Art entries can represent any medium including drawings, photos, paintings, sculpture, and finger painting, and must be accompanied by the Bideawee Art Expo submission form, which can be downloaded at www.bideawee.org. 

 The first 300 entries will be displayed in the Bideawee U Learning Center in Westhampton on Saturday, February 11, 2012.  All are invited to come see these expressions of love for pets and animals in need.  A $5 donation will grant you entrance into the show and help continue to care for the pets in need at Bideawee.
