PORT ANGELES — Classic rock ‘n’ roll, red wine, some cheese and some chocolate will come together at Harbinger Winery, 2358 W. U.S. Highway 101, this Saturday night.
The event, called “Feline Fine at Harbinger Wine,” features singer-guitarists Ches Ferguson and Mike “Barky” Pace of the band PufnStuff playing on the patio from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. while Harbinger pours its new “Meowrlot” vintage.
All of this is to benefit Peninsula Friends of Animals (PFOA), the cage-free, no-kill cat shelter just east of Port Angeles.
Admission will be by donation, while guests can purchase wine by the glass and bottle, beer and Bedford sodas. Harbinger will donate a portion of the evening’s proceeds to PFOA.
To fill out the tasting menu, Mount Townsend Creamery is donating artisan cheeses, while WeDo Fudge will provide samples of its confections, said Danette Grady, PFOA’s executive director.
Also Saturday, Harbinger’s Kit Kat Room will beckon with gifts: PFOA pot-holders, Tippy the spokescat T-shirts and lavender items made by PFOA volunteers.
Gift baskets and a trip to Victoria will be raffled off, too, Grady said.
As for the music, Pace said PufnStuff is flexible, while he’s pretty sure the Grateful Dead — “Truckin’,” “Friend of the Devil” — will be on the set list along with the band’s original songs.
“We’re going to play it by ear,” he said, “and see what the crowd responds to.”
Grady added that if guests are so inclined, they can find out about PFOA’s newest arrivals.
Eight kittens came to the shelter this week, joining the diverse feline community there.
“We’re going to have lots of kittens available for adoption,” Grady said, noting that PFOA can be reached at 360-452-0414 and via www.safehavenpfoa.org.
