Paws in the park
















I was invited to be a vendor at the Taft "Paws in the Park" event sponsored by the West Side Humane Society. I was super excited and spent the good majority of my spring break sewing new collar and leash designs. I spent so much time trying to perfect my display and for a first timer I was pleased with my presentation. However, I was outrageously disappointed with the turn out for the event. They didn't have any festivities besides simple games and contests. so nothing to really pull the people out there. At the events I've attended in Bakersfield they always have vaccinations, micro-chipping, licensing, etc. available at reduced costs so that people have a reason to show up that will benefit them! O-well I didn't sell much and neither did any other vendors strictly because of the minimal turn-out but if I ever get to attend a better event I defiantly have ample product and the set up ready to go! I was really frustrated about the whole thing but I guess no experience or trial run is bad because it just better prepares you for the next thing!
