| Caryn V. Hodge |

Does your jewelry box need a makeover? Do you have jewelry to donate? What does over 100 pounds of Jewelry look like? Attend the Jewelry to the Rescue event to find out and add some new bling to your collection of bobbles, rings and things and wardrobe accessories. Friends of Manatee County Animal Services (FoMCAS), will host their annual Jewelry to the Rescue event on Saturday, November 7th from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm at the Compass Hotel Margaritaville, 12324 Manatee Avenue, West, Bradenton.

Jewelry to the Rescue Event

Jewelry to the Rescue is one of the organization’s signature events to fundraise for the shelter pets of Manatee County Animal Services. Attendees will find over 100 pounds of jewelry ranging from precious gemstones, gold and sterling silver to costume and fun and funky pieces – all unique. Attendees can either pay $5 to enter or bring a piece of their own jewelry to donate as their entry fee.  The holidays are coming, and jewelry makes an awesome gift.

There will also be raffle prizes and giveaways.

The site of this year’s event is the new Compass Hotel Margaritaville on the beautiful Anna Maria Sound on the east side of Manatee Bridge just before going to Anna Maria Island. The Compass Hotel is offering specials on food and drinks from the Compass Bar and Chill Restaurant as well as tours of the property.

Safety protocols will be in place and masks will be required to enter.
