KPETS info booth at various events help to raise awareness of KPETS activities - and sometimes even a few funds - there's a donation jar and some items for sale. We've taken a time slot at several of these. Good to bring a chair and water & snacks for people and dogs, along with the ubiquitous poop bags. Usually have River wear his KPETS vest or bandana. Noche sometimes gets to come, depending on the venue, as a therapy-dog-in-training. The socialization opportunity is good for him.
Encore the Festival was very lightly attended, at least during our time slot, and reportedly for most others. However, it was the first year. There certainly was a lot of planning put into it - lots of big tents, organized schedule in multiple venues, performers, artists, food, demos, etc. The big draw was likely to be the evening concert and that may be why the daytime activities feel somewhat flat.
We entertained when we could, having River run through some rally and freestyle exercises could draw a small crowd. We also got to meet the other KPETS Portie and her owner. So not a total waste of time and maybe we spread the word, planted a seed that will flourish later.
