Hi All
In this day and age with all the agility and flyball clubs holding events
every weekend in the lower mainland most of the business people are
inundated with requests for prizes that they just have a few select to give
to and that's it. We are being sponsored by Royal Canin this year by way of
bags of dog food for the winners, and K9 Connections has donated a few
prizes for this year. What someone suggested on a way to save some money was
to cut back on the size of the ribbons, and this is one thing we will be
looking at and deciding at the next meeting. In the past our prizes have
always been nice and this year will be no different.
In spite of a few people who like to put a "damper" on things, the show will
go on with or without your support.

In Canada we can recycle our ribbons , because they have no date on them
,But in the U.S. they are dated so this doesn't "work" . But when I get my
dogs photo taken with the rosette I do return all ribbons to the show
secretary they are the expensive for the clubs to buy.
We used to go around town and ask for prizes to be donated to the local dog
show every year, but it seems the new members are not doing this anymore?
We used to get some really neat stuff donated and it was all for free. and
in return we would print the names of the people or business in our
catalogue with a big thank you to all of them.
Just a idea to some clubs.

We used to have a really nice table full of prizes, not the last 5 or 6
years though. We have cut back our prizes to Breed, Opposite, BOW and
Puppy, and we try to offer prizes that are practical and useful. For a few
years we offered the show photo with a nice frame, that went over really
well and wasn't all that expensive. We've done stainless buckets and items
that people can appreciate. Last year we had some great tote bags, fleece
wraps with our logo and this year we are looking at stuff that can be used
at shows and for travel. We offer nice rosettes which are made locally and
expense friendly, and use flat ribbons for placements in the classes, and
exhibitors always have the option of handing it all back to the club if
they don't want it. I think clubs can cut back on stuff they offer, but I
know our club still wants to offer something nice for those who come,
especially for newer people who still appreciate a memento.
