The Bridge Gallery in Shepherdstown hosted its annual Art Bazaar, raising nearly $3,000 for the Animal Welfare Society of Jefferson County, a no-kill shelter in nearby Kearneysville. Board member Rich Clawson expressed appreciation for the community's support, while treasurer Janet Bailey noted the event enhances awareness of the nonprofit's mission and draws potential volunteers. Featuring a variety of unique items, the bazaar also attracted local patrons like Jill Livingston, who marveled at the quality of the offerings. The event serves as a vital fundraiser for the AWSJC, which has been supporting local animals for 73 years.
