Railey Realty and Railey Vacations teamed up with Dutch’s at Silver Tree to host HART for Animal’s annual Guest Bartending Challenge. In a typical year, local real estate and rental company’s host this event through the spring at different locations to help raise money for HART. All events were cancelled in 2020 due to pandemic restrictions, and it was uncertain whether restaurants would be able to accommodate these events this year, even with modified restrictions. After Maryland Governor Larry Hogan lifted dining restrictions and the construction of Dutch’s at Silver Tree’s new outdoor dining space was completed, hosting the guest bartending challenge was the perfect way to celebrate!
To help raise money for this event, HART, Railey Realty, Railey Vacations, Dutch’s at Silver Tree, and other local businesses and individuals donate prizes for the silent auction. Among the auction items were a glass Simon Pearce wine decanter, a stay for a pet at the Bed & Bark, Kayaking at Silver Tree Marine, and a loaded camping wagon! The top earning auction item of the evening was the Simon Pearce wine decanter – which received bids up until the last minute. In addition, members of the Railey team served parties on the deck drinks to help earn tips for HART. In total, the evening raised more than $7,000!
HART for Animals is a Garrett County based nonprofit organization that helps house and care for abandoned animals. HART was opened in 2004 with the ultimate goal of prevent unnecessary euthanasia for abandoned animals who found themselves at the local shelters, which were at max capacity. HART for Animals takes in animals from county and state facilities to offer them a second chance at adoption. Since opening, HART has expanded to include the Patricia H Kirwan Center, housing the Bredel Veterinary Clinic, Bed ‘n Bark Inn, MuttWorks Grooming, and an Adoption Wing that can house 100 cats and dogs.
Railey Realty and Railey Vacations are proud sponsors of HART for Animals and all of their local fundraisers and endeavors! Other annual HART events include the Deep Creek Art & Wine Festival.
