Pet Expo/ Animal Care Summit Planning Committee

Event planning for the NEPA Animal Welfare Collaborative’s Pet Expo/Animal Care Summit will continue on Tuesday, March 29th at 6:00 pm with a meeting of the Pet Expo/Animal Care Summit Planning Committee. If interested in attending and joining the planning committee, please rsvp to frank@safdn.org The Pet Expo/Animal Care Summit will take place on October 15, 2022 from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm at the Viewmont Mall in Dickson City. We are planning for:
  • 50 vendors, including nonprofit organizations such as shelters, rescues, and sanctuaries with opportunities to feature adoptable animals
  • A fashion show with adoptable animals
  • A main stage with educational programs throughout the day including topics such as TNR, and other key issues
  • A microchipping clinic, and much more!

We are currently seeking vendors for October’s Pet Expo/ Animal Care Summit

The committee has decided to provide 10 free vendor opportunities for NEPA Animal Welfare Collaborative members who are 501(c)(3) organizations. Vendor opportunities for AWC members will be on a first come, first serve basis. Beyond the 10 free placements, AWC members will still be given priority on a paid basis ($45 with a donated raffle item; $60 with no raffle item). If you would like to be a vendor at the event, please email nora@safdn.org with an explanation of what you would present to the public as a vendor.
