Dexter, Missouri - On Saturday, November 5, 2016 K9Bix in downtown Dexter held a fundraiser for Diana's Grove Rescue to help pay for Heartworm treatments.
There were more than 40 canines who are in need of such treatment. Heartworms kill dogs slowly over years without the preventative given daily or monthly.
The K9 Paws Club decided to hold a Bark Fest Fundraiser with a Doggy Photo Contest, Dog Show, offering professional photos, a silent auction and a performance by Roxie the Dog who played piano on the sidewalk for donations.
Together they raised $700 to help Diana's Grove Rescue which is located in Cabool, Missouri.
Saturday, November 5th is one of two National Doughnut Days observed by doughnut lovers across the nation. The first Friday in June is the other day doughnuts steal the bakery case spotlight ready to tease their way into white bakery box home!
For more information on the National Doughnut Day celebrated in June, click here.
The history of the doughnut is disputed:
- One theory suggests Dutch settlers brought doughnuts to North America much like they brought other traditional American desserts including cookies, apple pie, cream pie and cobbler.
- An American, Hanson Gregory, claimed to have invented the ring-shaped doughnut in 1847 while on board a lime-trading ship at the age of 16. According to Gregory, he punched a hole in the center of dough with the ship’s tin pepper box and later taught the technique to his mother.
- Anthropologist Paul R Mullins states the first cookbook mentioning doughnuts was an 1803 English volume which included doughnuts in an appendix of American recipes.
- An 1808 short story describing a spread of “fire-cakes and dough-nuts” is the earliest known recorded usage of the term doughnut.
- A more commonly cited first written recording of the word is Washington Irving’s reference to doughnuts in 1809 in his History of New York. He described balls of sweetened dough, fried in hog’s fat and called doughnuts. Today, these nuts of fried dough are called doughnut holes.
