Our participants will include animal rescue organizations, groomers, trainers, sitters, boarding facilites as well as speciality services.  Our special guests this year is SPCA's Chief Investigator Charles Jantzen & KHOU's Brad Woodard!

UPDATE:Plans are already underway to make this year's event bigger and better than last. This year's event has been sanctioned with Tomball's 2007 Centennial Celebration!  Watch for more details! 

 

RESCUE RAFFLE: We will continue to donate 80% of the registration fees to the Rescue Raffle. The Rescue Raffle also receives funds accumulated from private donations, DogFest merchandise and tickets sold for raffle items. All rescue organizations participating in DogFest are encouraged to enter the raffle. The Rescue Raffle will take place at 5:00pm on the day of the event. The rescue organization must be 501c3 approved.  Let's see if we can beat our previous total of $1276.

 

BOOTH SPACE: There will be a few changes this year. Vendors bringing more than 1 dog such as rescues, breed clubs, etc will set up on the grassy area. This will free up the pavillion tables for retail & food vendors and allow a sitting/dining area for visitors. Those on the grassy area will not have space limitations. We have the entire park to set up and spread out. All vendors on grass will need to bring their own canopy, table, chairs, etc. Space under the pavillion will include one 6' picnic table. Any additional items will need to be provided by the vendor.

Booth (space on grass): $35  or Picnic Table (under pavillion)/ Two Picnic Tables: $60
