The Mark Twain House & Museum and Kenway’s Cause is presenting the Fourth Annual Bark Twain Bash, an evening celebrating our four-legged friends. Proceeds will benefit Kenway’s Cause and the Mark Twain House & Museum.
Festivities include a cash bar, food by David James Catering and Cake Gypsy, and entertainment. We will be presenting awards to special friends of animal, and to animals themselves. The event is hosted by iHeartMedia’s Renee Dinino and Buzz Engine’s Jacques Lamarre.
