Hi all,

Please see the attached info regarding the Annual Durham Pet Fair. Hope this is a legal post, if not I apologize and please feel free to close the thread if not.


2nd Annual Durham Pet Fair.

Dear Friends:


Don't Forget and Don't Miss Out!



The 2nd Annual Durham Pet Fair will be hosted by Help Willy's Friends and the Durham Veterinarian Hospital on May 16, 2010 at its new, larger location - Coginchaug Regional High School, 135 Pickett Lane, Durham, CT. This fun, FREE and family-oriented event will feature over 45 local animal shelters, more than 50 vendors, entertainment and lots of food for you AND your pet!



At last year's Pet Fair, animal shelters from general municipal to breed-specific, brought their best and brightest animals to meet the public in the hopes of finding them loving, forever homes. Nearly every pet that attended was adopted! With so many more shelters and people expected to attend this year, we are confident that many more animals will find that same happy ending.



We are also anticipating over 50 local vendors and artisans who will be eagerly showcasing their services and products ranging from handmade jewelry, doggie bandanas and organic pet treats to pet sitting services and woodworking. Tons of freebies will be available, so don't miss out!



This family-oriented event will not just feature adoptable pets and local merchants, but will also include:

* Live music
* Wine-tasting
* Silent auction
* DJ
* Food vendors
* Children's activities such as face-painting and Touch-a-Truck
* State police K-9 Unit, Agility, DAWGS and Skyhoundz demonstrations

* Free nail-clipping
* Pet reiki
* Pet psychic
* Micro-chipping (for a nominal fee)




If you would like to be a part of this exciting event, advanced registration is required. Please visit our website at www.durhampetfair.com or reply to this email for more information and to request an application. Applications and fees must be received by May 1st so that we can reserve your 10'x10' exhibition space.
(Note: Tents will not be the responsibility of the Durham Pet Fair.)

The 2nd Annual Durham Pet Fair is not just an opportunity for those looking to add to their pet families, it's also a FREE, fun-filled day for those who love animals, so mark it on your calendar and we look forward to seeing you there!



Thank you for your continued support,

Sincerely,



Mark Paturzo

Awesome info - thanks! I'll definitely be there and will pass the links along to the directors of AABR (Adopt a Boxer Rescue) who I foster and volunteer for. What a great cause!

What kind of "pony", Brian? Maybe I'll bring my Great Dane and we can give pony rides. LOL

Hey Dave, one of my best friends is the events coordinator for BAAC (Bikers Against Animal Cruelty)...... I'll forward the info to her and see if we should set up a booth. I might get torn between the boxer booth and the BAAC booth but it's certainly a great cause to be spread thin over!

Fantastic Sue! Thanks for getting the word out. The organizer of this event is a co-worker of mine at Yale and I am just trying to do my part in spreading the word. Susan, the kids and I had such a great time there last year that I thought it would be something that my RC buddies would enjoy as well. See you there.
 
What time?

What time?

I can't figure out what the hours are - checked the website but don't see it there, either.

Dave? Brian? Am I missing it?

Sue
 
Thanks, Dave. I think it's supposed to be nice out Sunday but as we all know, that could change any hour. Is this event held rain or shine?
