On Tuesday, April 21, Trackside Station Restaurant and Loyal Biscuit Co. teamed together to host their ninth Pints for Paws fundraiser to benefit the Pope Memorial Humane Society of Knox County (PMHSKC). Once again, the evening exceeded our expectations. In just three short hours on a Tuesday night, almost 200 people came through the doors, enjoyed dinner, purchased 50/50 tickets, bid on auction items and, like the name says, enjoyed more than 200 pints of beer to benefit the shelter. The evening raised $2,683 for PMHSKC!

In total, since beginning the fundraiser for the shelter in April, 2011, Trackside and Loyal Biscuit have raised $19,096.63 to help the area's animals.
