🐾 Announcing the
“Pet Mayor of Barron County” Fundraiser🐾
Hosted by the Humane Society of Barron County
Are you tired of endless campaign calls, political ads, and gridlocked debates? Us too. So we decided to flip the script and bring you an election you can actually enjoy — one filled with paws, fluff, feathers, and fun.
🗳️ What’s this all about?
For a $10 nomination fee, you can enter your beloved pet into the first‐ever “Pet Mayor of Barron County” race. Whether it’s a dog, cat, rabbit, hamster, parrot, or even a dignified turtle — if they’ve got personality, we want them! Submit a short description of:
-
their distinguishing characteristics (fluffy tail? regal whiskers? unbeatable head-tilt?),
-
their “political platform” (more snacks? universal belly rubs? nap reform?)
…and we’ll put them on the ballot.
