This is really all you need to know, from the invitation: “Features a ’70s disco pet fashion show.” OK, we suppose you’ll need a little more — it’s the annual East Lake Pet Orphanage Wine on the Roof fundraiser for the neighborhood’s most prominent vet, adoption, orphanage, shelter for pets, and it happens Saturday from 7-11:30 p.m. at 10101 East Northwest Highway. The theme is Can You Dig It? And The night includes wine and gourmet food, live and silent auctions and celebrity guests, to name a few things. This has grown into quite the event. Tickets are $95 for general admission and a table for 16 goes for $5,000. These and other options are available here — act before Friday, as some sales will end then.
