2nd Annual Provincetown Brewing Co. label contest 2023

The 2nd Annual Provincetown Brewing Co. label contest benefiting The Carrie A. Seaman Animal Shelter (CASAS) drew hundreds of participants that included cats, chickens, horses, and dogs vying for the coveted prize of being featured on the label of a special edition brew from the Provincetown Brewing Co.
This year’s top prize was awarded posthumously to “Gunner” a Golden Retriever from Provincetown and Sommerville, MA. Sadly, Gunner passed away on August 7th from unknown causes; he was 9 ½ years old. Gunner’s dad Michael Bruning said Gunner loved to fish in Provincetown trotting up and down the coastline with a keen eye for minnows. Gunner’s face is now immortalized of the label of a special edition brew called “Gunner’s Good Dog Ale.”

CASAS director Sherry Brec announced the winner of the contest at a VIP reception for the launch of Provincetown Pet Appreciation Week at the Provincetown Brewing Company during their “Barks & Brews” pet tea happy hour.

Provincetown Brewing Co.’s Erik Borg says “we’re as pro pet as it gets! From our own lovable pet mascot Brewski to all the pets who grace our beer garden patio during “Barks & Brews pet tea happy hour. Provincetown Brewing Co. is at its best when filled with our furry friends. We are thrilled to partner with CASAS again to create a custom pet themed brew and raise funds for a vital organization.

Blessing of the Animals & T-Dance

The weather was not in our favor this year and the pet parade was canceled. Many intrepid pet appreciators turned out for the blessing of the animals at St. Mary of the Harbor and for the T-Dance at the Boatslip. The winner of the Grand Prize Raffle Drawing at CASAS on Sunday, September 24th was Colin Brown. Many thanks to Colin for donating his winnings to the shelter.

Many thanks to our sponsors and volunteers for a successful PAW! We raised over $21,000 and we thank you all for your generous donations.
