The Fourth of July celebration that took place at Rondele Ranch in Harshaw was not only a popular place to be, but was part fundraiser. The Ranch chose Oneida County Humane Society (OCHS) to receive a portion of the event’s proceeds, which totaled a $10,000 donation to the organization.

OCHS treasurer Sue Otis said they are honored to receive the donation and “will use part of it for the care of the many senior and special needs animals at the shelter.”
