The races this week are good for kids and animals, two things in this world that amuse me.
Kids Night is the theme for the Feather Falls Casino Friday Night Points Series, so the two free bieks plus complimentary popcorn and soda are sure to put smiles on all the young’uns faces out at Silver Dollar.
And as for the animals, Brett Miller is putting it out there that his team is making a major effort to help the Butte Humane Society this season. Miller’s grandfather, Bill Bell, said the crew will donate 20 percent of all winnings to the humane society this year, and Miller has said that shirt sales will be a big part of that as well.
It’s a great connection, and it’s an honest-to-good effort to make our community a better place. So I’m going to provide you with some resources to help, if you so choose:

Racing is supposed to start at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
