Thank you for all the good wishes.
The weather did NOT cooperate. It was barely 45!!! Overcast, cloudy, and a little wind. BRRRRR!!! (Two weeks ago we were sunny and bright and almost 80!)
We stayed 3 hours. Even though it started at 10, we arrived at 9 for set up, and were all ready at 9:30 We left at noon, had already packed everything and were driving out at noon.
The dogs all got cold. I had jackets and coats on them and took them for walks, but they just looked SO pathetic and when Ozzy started shivering I knew it was enough. He had a sweater on, a jacket over that, and he was snuggled in a pet bed with Sugar and a blanket on top of them. Marlin and Lacey took my chair and were snuggled on that with a blanket over them.
Two people picked up flyers.
Sigh. All that work, preparing, packing the car . . . .
I only took 2 photos, of the tables I set up.
This table has the sign I made up, and the items I had for a raffle. Didn't sell any tickets at all. The items included: set of 4 placemats and napkins with seashells; a Hallmark baby photo album titled God's Masterpiece; a Pfaltzgraff dip and server. Those "tubes" you see with the SPR logo were for the raffle tickets to be placed in.
And this table had info about SPR, a binder with photos of some of the dogs available for adoption, and items for sale.
The donation jar has the $2 in it which I put in to start it off (you shouldn't have nothing as no one likes to be first) but no one else had donation jars, and no one gave anything during the short time I was there. And I think you can see the treats for the dogs and the candy for the humans. And a few items to hold things down in the wind, as I 'thought' I was going to sell the other items.
