The beautiful County Line Orchard in Hobart, Indiana again serves as the site for the annual "PET ROCK" fundraiser, produced once again by Lounges Entertainment, which benefits The Humane Society of Northwest Indiana, a 501(c)(3) charity.

Entertainment for "PET ROCK 2023” is MR. FUNNYMAN with special guest QUENTIN FLAGG giving a rare Northwest Indiana solo performance. Flagg is a charismatic entertainer who focuses on the '50s and '60s popular rock songbooks.

Emcees will be air personalities from event media host WIMS-AM/FM.

MR. FUNNYMAN returns by popular demand this year and performs hit songs from a variety of musical genres; including songs by the likes of Michael Jackson, Elvis, Pink Floyd, ABBA, Beatles, Prince, Def Leppard, Lorde, Bruno Mars, and dozens more.

AUCTIONS: Over 100 silent auction and live auction items will be up for bidding, ranging from concert and event tickets, commercial goods, restaurant gift cards, and of more than two dozen hand signed items from famous rock artists, which gives PET ROCK its name.

All net proceeds from the annual "PET ROCK" Humane Society of Northwest Indiana, an independent entity not funded by the government, the national Humane Society organization, nor other sources. The HSNI relies on adoption fees and the donations and support of the people and businesses of Northwest Indiana.
