Thoughts on a September 30th PT meeting in Fort Wayne????

[Cincy'sMom]

Hope things are going great today!!! Unfortunately, we aren't able to make it over wither, but are wishing you all the luck in the world.

Andy and I got home around midnight (after stopping off at my parents). What a day! Molly and Mike, it was so great seeing you guys again. Congrats on a wonderful store and turn out! I took a few pictures of the outside/inside, but alas, no group shots.

Kia wolfed down one of the sample packs. Hard to say if she was just hungry or actually liked it.

We're looking foward to digging into that Canidae we won. I swear we didn't stuff the raffle box!

Thanks again for the fun day and dinner. Kia has now crashed out and I'm about to follow suit.

Ta!

It was a FANTASTIC day!! Andy and Kimmy, it was great seeing you and I hope Kia is tuckered out because of all of the attention she got! She sure was a hit with the customers! Does she still like the bone that she made Mike go back down and get for her?? lol. And Andy, thanks so much for vacuuming for us at the end of the day!! I got back to the store and Mike told me that Andy had vacuumed the whole store after everyone left (actually there were still stragglers until 6:30!).

And, as Kimmy now knows, Carleen is a human!! lol Carleen set up the food table for us and her mother baked 3 pans of her famous triple chocolate brownies (which were the hit of the day) and she baked snickerdoodles and then she made all of the workers (Mike, Carleen, Jeanne, Andy, Kimmy, and me) and the demonstrators and rescue people lunch! She made wonderful ham and swiss and turkey and cheddar roll ups and brought grapes and cheese logs and crackers. We could not have pulled this off without her help! Then the Dragon's Keep Cafe came (we thought they forgot) with the espresso machine and special coffee for the guests (which was also very popular).

We had customers that had never been in and were quite impressed with all of the happenings and we had winners (including PT's own Kimmy) who won prizes. We had 4 20# bags of Canidae dog food (Kimmy won one of those), a halter and blanket for the horse people, a wicker cat bed with red cushy bed, a cat harness and leash with a sparkle ball toy and a cat nip fish (won by one of my student's mother!), a Wellness canvas bag with 6 bags of their holistic treats, and a bird feeder with a bag of food. One of the local radio stations ran an ad for us and one of the DJs just LOVES us and he plugged us hard (for free) all week and the station gave away 2 bags of Eagle Pack food, so those people came in as well and were duly impressed. I think overall it was a good day!! Now we just have to get them to come back!!

Thanks to all of you for your good wishes!!!

Thanks guys!!!

Hey Kimmy....where are the pictures!! I am being impatient!! And thanks again for coming down!

I wish you all could have come...it really was fun!

[Karen]

Sounds like a great day/event! I always wish we could be wherever Pet Talkers are agthering, but until I get me a dragon (Kim'll understand) I just can't be everywhere instantaneously like I'd like!

I won't be able to upload them until tomorrow at work.

Ahhh yes Karen...to have a dragon would be the best! No time constraints or tired drives home... *sigh*
