We didn't quite make the sales goal that I had in mind, but the puppy paw lollipops were a big hit, and we were able to make a small donation to the dog rescue organization.
We made lots of connections with interesting folks, and that's what life is really all about, right?
Here are some photos of our sales display table, as we were setting it up:
Instead of trying to bring along our dogs, like a few other vendors did, we opted to set up a photo of each. There were so very many dogs of all shapes and sizes and temperaments with their owners in attendance! Additionally, we ended up having a couple of rescue dogs that were up for adoption on either side of us...so we made a wise choice.
I shudder to think how it might have gone if we'd brought even one of our dogs along!
Saturday afternoon, around 5pm, our photographer friend, Roger, arrived to scope out the field and set up his equipment. We weren't sure what time we'd begin shooting, as he wanted a certain level of natural lighting, along with his special lighting to get the best portrait.We ended up starting earlier than anticipated, and we captured some terrific shots! He was a lot of fun to work with, and he handled the dogs and horse so well, getting them to look in the right direction at the right second.
I purposely put my own camera away once Roger got started with us, but here are a few "pre-production" shots:
I am very excited to sit down with Roger in two weeks to select the photos we want. It's going to be difficult to narrow it down. We have several nice shots of the entire family, dogs and horse included. But, he also took some great shots of the kids! Don and I also posed for a few, too - one of Don's 20th anniversary gifts to me, I hope? (Hint, Hint)
I'll share a few, eventually, so keep following us right here!
And, if you enjoy a good lollipop, let me know: we have some extras from this Saturday, and I'd love to make some more! Shipping available.
