Holiday shopping with a local purpose
Jean Side of Bearly Hyde N Cabin shared the event flyer with The Watertown Post. She said the four-store effort grew from the bookstore’s ongoing work to help local animals and families, with each participating shop collecting for a different rescue or food pantry.
Visitors can browse for holiday books and gifts while contributing to the participating shops’ pet food drives. Bearly Hyde N Cabin is collecting dry and wet dog and cat food, treats, cat litter and pet supplies as part of its Santa Paws annual pet food drive.
