<DIV>Checked on a couple possible opportunities this week. Will now be
gone till after memorial day but am looking for feed back and interest in
participation. Don't want to be a lonely only sitting a booth somewhere
whilst everyone else is off showing. lol Seriously looking for input
and what would be the most fun reach the most number of JQP and be the
least amount of work for us. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We can attend the CAHS dog walk on Sept 29 the vendor tables are $150 for
the day which is usually like 9 to 2ish with set up and take down major problem
is we could only have 2 dogs at the booth. So no real opportunity to parade
the breeds or promote purebred dogs beyond the performance sports and
training? Not really the venue for promoting responsible breeding even though
that would be the means to the end of the shelter population problems. If we
want to do this I can set everything up but would not be able to attend
that day.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Another possibility is the Charlotte Frontier Day parade on Sept 8th we
could walk dogs in the parade to display breeds and pass out info in route there
are thousands in attendance. Website: <A

and or arrange to do something like a community dog show, Pet contests, parade
of breeds and demos another time during the weekend?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any other ideas out there on places to contact? </DIV>
