Bid to help cats with the blues

The volunteers of Stray Cat Blues Inc. will hold a Bidding for the Blues Silent Auction from 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 16 at Pinecrest Country Club, Route 202, Montgomery Township.

It will benefit the nonprofit cat rescue's community outreach Trap, Neuter, Return program.

So far, the top donation for the auction is a one-week stay next summer in a beach home. The group is seeking financial donations of any amount and vendors willing to donate a gift basket or restaurant certificate. Tickets for the event are $20.

Auction proceeds will replenish the group's Trap, Neuter, Return fund, which helps to subsidize its TNR activities in the community.

A movie is being filmed in the Pottstown area. Just recently filming took place at the former Reed's gas station on West High Street in West Pottsgrove.

The film is a vampire flick and stars Nick Damici, who stared in the TV series "The Black Donnellys."

The film crew is also currently making use of the former AJ Beverages building across the street from Reed's gas station, which closed down several months ago after the business no longer remained profitable for the owner.
