Shondra, Kathy, Nealie and Kipper
We had a great time hosting a Col. Potter booth at this huge dog event on Saturday at the convention center. I would guess attendance was 400-500. It was great to have help from several other Col. Potter friends. Kathy T and her friend Shondra drove about 100 miles to get here. Kathy is a Matchmaker and adopted two of Karin M’s fosters (Teacher and Fillipa), now Nealie and Kipper; Elaine C adopted my foster Pizzelle (now Zellie); and Marge & Ky who adopted Ruth Houser’s Skelly. Marge and Ky brought along a friend’s cairn (who they were dog sitting - Jimmy). All 3 dogs were great ambassadors for the cairn breed and drew a lot of attention to our booth.
There were 150-175 booths, including several other rescue groups. Most of the other rescues were very large dogs – Great Danes, Newfoundlands, Bull Mastiffs, Great Pyrennes, Greyhounds, Siberian Huskies, American Bulldogs. Almost every premium dog food company had booths here today and most were giving out free samples.
We had a lot of visitors stop by and took away informational brochures and Col. Potter business cards. There was also a Sarasota Veterinarian who is going to post our organization's information on his website.
