The summer heat is on, and it's time to let go in the cool breeze of the lake.
Don't miss "Gimme Shelter" benefit concert at Coconut Island Bar & Grill May 14 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. It's a great way to launch your summer fun and benefit Cedar Creek Lake's homeless animal population at the same time.
Cedar Creek Lake's premiere restaurant and nightclub on Cedar Creek Lake will host the benefit for Straydog.org, a no-kill dog shelter. It's a great opportunity to arrive early for a dinner at sunset and cruise into the evening with good music and lots of friendly fun.
The concert will top off the group's pet adoption day at Petsmart in Mesquite at 19175 LBJ Freeway from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. If your house is already full of pets, attend the concert to give the organization a much-needed boost.
Straydog is a sancturary for abandoned pets that is in need of emergency funding to continue its work. It provides food, shelter and veterinary services to helpless pets.
If you can't attend the concert, consider sending a donation to P.O. Box 1465, Gun Barrel City, TX 75147. Email [email protected] or call 903-479-3497.
