BROOKINGS – Country music artist Miranda Lambert is calling on Brookings concertgoers to make a big difference for local animals in need.

Fans are invited to participate in Lambert’s “Fill the Little Red Wagon” campaign – inspired by the singer’s hit single. Concertgoers can bring pet supplies along to her March 3 concert at the Swiftel Center in Brookings. All donations will benefit the Brookings Regional Humane Society.

As an added bonus, she’s giving away a Meet & Greet package to one lucky participant.

Every fan who brings a donation for the animal shelter will be registered for a chance to win a ticket upgrade plus a Meet & Greet for two with Lambert.

Items can be dropped off at the Swiftel Center from 5-6:45 p.m. Friday, March 3, the night of the show. There’s a limit of one entry per person for anyone who contributes a donation. The winner’s name will be drawn by 7 p.m.

Suggested items on the Brookings Regional Humane Society wish list include: dog or cat chow; canned dog food; Friskies cat food; JW Pet, KONG or Nylabone brand toys; soft dog treats; paper towels; 13-gallon heavy-duty tall kitchen garbage bags; liquid bleach; laundry detergent; dish soap; antibacterial hand soap; hand sanitizer; clay cat litter (non-scoopable); collars (all sizes); cat scratchers; and gift cards to HyVee, Walmart or Runnings.
