Axe throwing competition tomorrow to benefit local animal shelters

Tomorrow, Skal Axe Throwing in Biloxi will be hosting an axe throwing tournament to raise funds for Frets for Pets.

Frets for Pets is a three-day benefit concert raising funds for animal shelters while showcasing local music, arts, and businesses.

The concert is the first weekend in August at the Juke Joint in Ocean Springs. Frets for Pets President Dimitri Curtis said, “Trying to make sure animals in the shelters get the proper medical attention and homes and that they don’t end up forever in the shelters. Unfortunately, a lot of older animals are getting euthanized and we’re trying to keep that from happening.”

Last year, Frets for Pets raised $5,000. Tomorrow’s axe throwing fundraiser begins at 4 p.m. at Skal.
