The White Silo tasting room, 32 Route 37 East in Sherman, will have local wines, treats and goods available from 7 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $20 per person, with all proceeds to benefit The Wildlife-Line of Sherman.
The Wildlife-Line of Sherman, founded by Debbie Corcione, is going into its seventh year of operation. It is committed to protecting and saving orphaned or injured animals and returning them back to their proper habitats.
If you encounter what you think is an orphaned or injured animal, take the following precautions before engaging the animal: 1)observe the situation and do not approach until you know it is safe 2) if the animal needs helps, use a towel or gloves when handling it 3) place the animal in a safe crate or box with comfortable padding where it is warm and quiet 4) keep the animal away from domestic pets and 5) do not give the animal food or water until you speak to a licensed rehabilitator.
