Why be a vendor at Spring Fling?

  • Support a great cause

  • Meet lots of friendly animal lovers

  • Sell or promote your business

  • Have fun!

​

Who should sign up for vending at Spring Fling?

  • Local businesses with products to sell or services to promote that are in line with Unleashed, the Dog & Cat Store's general philosophies (i.e. positive dog handling, natural products, etc.)

  • Open to all types of local businesses, not just pet-related!  

​​

Any special activities to highlight vendors?

  • Yes!  Vendors are encouraged to give coupons, prizes, certificates, and more for our HUGE doggie Easter Egg Hunt!  Vendors are also invited to be a part of our Raffles by giving an item for the prize baskets.   

  • Each vendor is featured in a Spring Fling blog post shared on social media.

​

How much does it cost to be a vendor?

  • $150 for a 10 x 10 space. 

    • Vendors are responsible for bringing own tent, tent weights, table, chairs, and anything else you might need.  

  • Power hookups available for $25.  Please let us know if you need one.​

  • Sponsorship is also available. 

    • Tshirts: For $150, we will include you on this year's event T-Shirt and you will receive additional promotion.  T-shirts will be for sale, and 100% of the proceeds will go to the rescues in attendance.  T-shirt sponsorship will be limited and accepted in the order received until it's full.  

  • ​Sponsorship of the Easter Egg Hunt is free and we invite all vendors to give coupons, gift certificates, products, etc. for the Easter Eggs and for the Tote Bags.

​

What if if rains?

  • Bring a raincoat and a tent!  The event is rain or shine. 

    • A surprising number of people have showed up in past years despite downpours, and still had fun!  

​

When do I set-up?

  • Set up will be first come, first serve, starting at 8 am, and must be done by 11:45.  Break down does not start until the event ends at 6 pm, and vendors are not allowed to break down early (unless instructed to do so by an Unleashed staff member.) Further instructions will be sent closer to the event. 

​

What are the limitations?

  • We will limit the number of same or competing vendors.  

  • As the host of this event is Unleashed, the Dog & Cat Store, and our customers expect a certain standard from us, we will only accept pet related goods and services that meet our standards and align with our philosophies. 

    • For trainers, boarders, etc. we support positive, non-aversive animal handling.   We recommend harnesses, treat training, clicker training, and do not support shock collars and other punitive training tools.   

    • For dog products, we require no wheat, corn, soy, byproducts, chemical or artificial ingredients.                          This applies to products for sale, as well as giveaways and handouts.  

    • For animal care professionals, we promote holistic and integrative care.  

    • Other limitations may apply.
