Join us in 2008 for a fantastic, fur-filled day and help a great cause!
Exhibiting is a dynamic, cost effective, one-stop opportunity to maximize contact with
existing clients and potential customers. Consumer trade shows provide targeted and
pre-qualified buyers. Don't miss out...this is a fabulous opportunity to showcase your
company to the Pet loving population and families of the Inland Northwest!
Children love pets, and more than 50% of our attendees are parents with kids at home.
Pet Fest is a great venue to reach these families.
New this year is a special section of the show dedicated to the health and wellness of
our pets. The animal wellness fair is for businesses that offer products or services to
enhance a beloved pet's health and help our furry companions live long healthy lives.
You can be a Pet Fest sponsor and have your logo on all print and/or broadcast
advertising. Your booth space in a prime location is included with any sponsorship.
Sponsorships are limited to only five non-competing participants on a first come first
serve basis. Call Rachael Grafmiller at (509) 244-1712 for sponsorship pricing.
