Event Co-Chair Michele Croan said in a recent press release about the event, "“Like Acadia National Park, the SPCA of Hancock County recently reached our 100^th anniversary. Wine & Whiskers is our most important fundraiser of the year.  We’re hoping to celebrate our centennial by raising $100,000 to help us feed, house, and provide medical assistance for the dogs and cats in our care.”
