I went to the one in Timonium this past January. I was highly disappointed. So much so that I emailed the organizers. Never got a response back. This year the number of rescues and non-dog related booths equalled (I truly believe) the number of vendors-and those totalled together was not a lot of booths anyway. We drove approximately 1 - 1 1/2 hours to get there and that is just about the amount of time it took for us to walk through.
I told the organizers that I understand how important it is for the rescues to be there but that I was expecting a whole lot more of vendors. Don't get me wrong, it is very important to get the word out but not everyone attending is necessarily looking to adopt.
We went last year and it was a little bit better, more variety of vendors. |
