OK shutterbugs!

ARC Animal Expo - Picture Contest JUST for Rescues

Dog/Puppy Categories:
Silliest Sleeping Position
Best Lick (self, another animal, or person)
Most Expressive Eyes
Best Dog with Child Picture

Cat/Kitten Categories:
Silliest Sleeping Position
Best Snuggle (another animal or person)
Most Playful
Best Cat with Child Picture

How to enter: Bring a picture that fits into one of the categories above to the Expo. You may enter as many times as you would like. Please put your Rescue's name on the back of the picture.

We will post on a board and have the public vote during the day. The picture with the most votes in each category Wins. Contest will start at 10:30 and winners will be announced at 3:30.

These pictures can be of your adoptable animals – we thought it would help to adopt them. If the animal is adoptable, we will put that below the picture. We are being a little sneaky as well as having fun.

The prize will be a Dog/Cat care package. You may keep the prize for yourself, give it to the person that adopts the animal, or whatever you would like.

Help needed @ Dogstock

Hi All!

I need to know who would be willing and able to help me at Dogstock this Saturday. The event will feature a number of bands - last I heard was 11 - on two stages and ALL of the proceeds benefit us! This is a "private" party (by invitation only) and Jonn is expecting 150-200 people. I do NOT want to bring any animals as people will be walking around with their own pets and heaven forbid something bad happens. I want to auction off a signed Jesse James t-shirt, sell t-shirts and sweatshirts, give out bumper stickers for donations, have a donation jar there, etc. Because of everything going on with the parvo situation and some things going on for me at the office, and the unknown volunteer help that will be available, I didn't do a Chinese auction.

Jonn did ask us to help with parking when the event first starts. Honestly, I don't know how long this gig will go - likely late. I am supposed to be on duty at the FD for the GOTL Fireworks but will likely stay at Dogstock.

So....who wants to help me?
Doc
