Dear Companion Pet Lovers ~
Just six days remaining until the start of the 2010 Columbus Pet Expo!
Friday, March 26 (Noon - 9 PM)
Saturday, March 27 (10 AM - 8 PM)
Sunday, March 28 (11 AM - 6 PM)
(To preview the Show Schedule, please click here.)
Since last Wednesday's announcement of Petland's withdrawal from the 2010 Columbus Pet Expo, Columbus Top Dogs has received a flood of e-mail and phone calls (including a $4,000 donation) in support of this year's show!
Working closely with the Expo's organizers, Mythanne, Teresa and Steve, we are confident we will exceed our goal of 200 approved applications for pet adoptions!
For this year's anticipated 20,000 visitors, The Columbus Pet Expo has created a Non Profit Rescue Charity Auction scheduled to take place on Sunday, March 28 at 1:00 PM, with 100% of the proceeds to be divided equally among all participating non-profit rescue groups, shelters and humane societies!
To help raise additional dollars for these groups, friends and supporters can purchase advance tickets online at http://www.columbuspetexpo.com/Pet_Expo_Site/Columbus_Pet_Expo_Tickets.html, print the receipt for their ticket(s) at home and write the name of their non-profit rescue group, shelter or humane society on the back of their receipt. Friends and supporters then present their receipt to the Will Call/Online window at the Expo, and their designated group will receive one dollar for every ticket purchased. It's that easy!
2010 is the year to get political for Ohio's animals!
This year's Columbus Pet Expo will provide an excellent forum to help educate the public on issues and pending legislation impacting Ohio's animals. Because this year's show takes place the same weekend as the March 27 Ohio Dog Auction in Farmerstown Ohio, supporters for the Coalition to Ban Ohio Dog Auctions will be collecting signatures in support of the 2011 ballot initiative (Ohio Dog Auctions Act). Volunteer petitioners are needed to make this initiative a reality in Ohio - we have until December 1, 2010 in which to collect a MINIMUM of 121,00 signatures! We need everyone's participation to make this vital effort a success!
A limited edition of I'm Getting Political for Ohio's Animals in 2010 and I'm Here Because Petland Isn't! t-shirts are available for $5 to any volunteer working this year's Expo on behalf of the Coalition to Ban Ohio Dog Auctions or a participating non-profit rescue, shelter or humane society!
Supplies are limited for these 100% pre-shrunk, cotton t-shirts, so please submit your order via paypal to info@banohiodogauctions.com by Monday, March 22! When placing your order, please click on the "Add special instructions to seller" link and enter your shirt size (S, M, L, XL and XXL), name, shipping address and the name of your participating rescue group, shelter or humane society.
We need your voice to help promote and make this Expo the most successful ever!
Please share details of this year's Expo via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, etc. to friends, family and co-workers, and encourage them to attend one of the largest pet-related events in the country! We also encourage everyone to join the Columbus Pet Expo Facebook group by clicking here.
Thanks everyone! We greatly appreciate everyone's dedication and commitment to serving as a strong voice for the animals!
