VENDOR SPACE FULL
Vendor spaces are now full, according to Fall Festival co-organizers Rhonda Bryant and Pets and People Board Member Suzanne Cannon who report that Fall Festival sponsorships are still available.
“We want to give families a fun alternative to more expensive fall events while helping Yukon’s Pets & People Humane Society maintain our three-acre dog park, which is a popular destination for visitors to Yukon,” Bryant said.
Cannon said, “Festival proceeds will help Pets & People fix fences, mow, trim trees, spray for mosquitos and add a windmill to keep water moving in our pond at our Community Dog Park, which is free and open to the public.”
Pets & People is seeking two $300 sponsors to purchase benches to expand seating in Yukon’s Community Dog Park.
Text or call Bryant at (405) 651-8998 with Fall Festival questions about sponsorships, donations, volunteer opportunities and food truck spaces which cost $100.
