Highlands Fest 2016 is upon us! Saturday, September 10, 2016 , check out the hottest block party of the year beginning at 1pm! All your favorite local art and craft vendors will be there, along with live performances by some of the hottest local musicians! Bring the kids for an assortment of activities in the fun zone where there’s something for everyone: great food, live music and a covered beer garden sponsored by Shocktop Belgian White! All of the Highlands Fest activities will take place along the 900 Block of Baxter Ave in the Highlands, the music starts at 4:00, but the party goes all day!
The Arrow Fund will be running multiple booths at the festival, including our own booth and supporting a t-shirt sales event booth. There are multiple shifts throughout the day to support both booths. We are in need of 3 people per booth per shift. Shifts are currently planned from 12PM-5:30PM and 5PM-10:30PM. Additional needs are for floaters to help relief at other booths, and cleanup from 11PM-1AM.
Booth work for The Arrow Fund typically involves selling our merchandise (shirts, dog treats, cat treats, buttons, etc.) through cash or PayPal credit processing. It also includes sharing information about the organization and networking with others about our mission. And don't forget the opportunity to mingle with some adorable pets!
This will be a FUN event and will raise awareness and funds for The Arrow Fund at the same time. If interested in any of the shifts, please respond and we'll coordinate.

Mission Statement
The Arrow Fund is a nonprofit that fights to rehabilitate the animal victims of torture and abuse and to bring awareness of and eliminate animal cruelty.
Description
The Arrow Fund is a Kentuckiana based 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides medical treatment to animals who have been victims of extreme torture, abuse, or neglect. After securing care for these animals our focus extends to holding the abuser responsible for his or her actions. We strive to educate the public regarding the ongoing problem of animal cruelty and advocate strengthening our local, state, and national animal welfare laws.
We are a volunteer based organization led by our Board of Directors. Our Board Members are not paid for their services.
When The Arrow Fund is contacted, and the case fits our criteria, we take legal possession of the animal and transport him or her to an appropriate medical facility to secure treatment. Following medical treatment, the animal recovers with a medical foster, where he or she is also given the chance to acclimate to living indoors, and be assessed/retrained in preparation for a permanent home. It usually takes an extended period of time for the animal to recover physically and emotionally, but we will do what it takes to get him or her there and find the right home. Once the animal is receiving treatment, The Arrow Fund works with the proper authorities to pursue prosecution of the abusers. We also work with the news media and legislators to keep our community informed.
