Lots of ladies in their poshest frocks and gentlemen wearing the most stylish clothes came to support Cayman’s cats and dogs on Friday – that was the date for the Humane Society Fur Ball.

There was a lot to see – literally, with the silent auction. Everything beautiful, unusual, and fabulous was going under the silent hammer – from model boats made of thousands of matchsticks to guitars. Then, there was the live auction with lots and lots – such as a dinner for eight, hosted by none other than His Excellency The Governor, Duncan Taylor. Other “events” rather than “things” going under the hammer of auctioneer for the evening Jay Ehrhart (who was dressed for the occasion better than anyone else, with a cream jacket covered in black dog’s paw prints) included a two-night all inclusive stay at Little Cayman’s Pirates Point, complete with Cayman Airways flights, and valued at more than CI$1,500.

There was also a Westin Casuarina Hotel weekend stay for two valued at US$1,300, and a four nights stay at Sunshine Suites.

Suave and sophisticated sounds came from the Suite Elite Trio and Harpist Eugeno Leon.

Towards the end of the evening, there was a visit from pirates who invaded the ballroom.
