50th Anniversary Reception Planned This Month for Local Veterinarian Dr. Pat Hitchcock DVM

The staff at Lavonia Animal Hospital are inviting the public to help Dr. Pat Hitchcock celebrate 50 years of veterinary practice in Lavonia.

Hitchock first set up his practice at his location on East Main St. in 1974, and since then has served hundreds, if not thousands, of animals including family pets, livestock, and wildlife.

On August 11, a drop-in reception will take place at Lavonia First United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall from 2-4 p.m..

There will be light refreshments and current and former clients are invited to bring photos of pets Hitchcock has treated over the years  so they can be posted on a large board for him to remember everyone.

There will also be a framed photo mat for everyone to sign.

50th Anniversary t-shirts are available at Lavonia Animal Hospital.
