Events for a Purpose with Gillian and Donna

04/03/2022

I just wanted to come on here and say thank you to everyone that made yesterday's show possible. We had a lot of great help getting silent auction items. You guys don't know how much that means to us because it's a lot of work and we appreciate any help we can get. Huge shout out to the Annapolis Moose Lodge who allows us to keep continuing our events there. And also a huge shout out to Dawn Frederick who came out supporting angels for animals of Puerto Rico and brought her to amazing pups. We are so glad that a pup was able to get adopted at the show. That is why we do this is for the animals and the shelters. And also to our crafters and vendors who stick with us I know yesterday's show wasn't the best unfortunately those things happen doing these events is always a 50/50 chance so all we can do is promote market advertise everything the best that we can so we will continue to do so for all future events and we will take everyone's advice that was given yesterday into consideration and look at ways to make the show better and attendance better. Again thank you to everyone for all of your help and support.

This sweet beautiful girl was adopted during the April 2nd event today. The show wasn't as busy as we would have liked but at least she found her Fur-ever home.

We will be having another event in April so stay tuned for that information as it becomes available. We hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and a very Happy New Year.

I have sent a couple emails out but we have had a few people needing to cancel their table due to being ill. With this said we want to fill out hall to make the best out of our fundraiser for the Senior Dog Sanctuary. If you would be interested in a last minute opportunity let me know. We do know we can't take anymore jewelry or bath and body crafter's. Table fee is $50 and it needs to be paid in cash the day of the event. You will also need to email [email protected] to confirm and send the application to.

We're doing it again! Show on Dec 11th, Annapolis Moose Lodge. Feel free to share this flyer so we can get the most social media advertisement as possible.

Hello everyone. Just wanted to let you all know road signs are going up next weekend for our Oct 16th Event. We are so excited. Also, there is a mail delay with applications and payment so if you have sent applications and payments in but have not got a confirmation from us that is why. We do have a PayPal account set up but come December will have a different form of payment so stay tuned for that.

We are working on seeing just how many vendors we can have in the location so stay tuned for the application. Space will be limited so it will come in first come/pay first serve. We will also that you do not send payment until we approve your application. We want to ensure we do not have too many of one particular item so that it is fair to everyone involved.
