Please join us for our 4th annual Chester Dog Fair!

This year’s Chester Dog Fair fair will be held on September 15th & 16th. We are looking for businesses and individuals that have a love for animals, the arts, and an active, healthy lifestyle.

As a sponsor, you will be part of an event that’s designed to raise awareness for local and regional services to help families with their canines, while also helping rescue dogs. Your company or business will receive recognition across the state for your commitment to aid in our mission. Sponsors will also be acknowledged via radio advertisements, website, local newspaper, etc., as trusted and recommended experts in their industry, and will also gain recognition through the community for their generous sponsorship.

Fair festivities are designed for dog lovers to shop for both pet and non-pet related items. We also have food trucks, live music, dog demonstrations and activities which fair goers and their dogs can participate in. Families can learn about local pet related services, consult with a local Veterinarian, Groomer, Pet Sitter, Therapy Pet Partner Team and Trainer. Some of our dog activities available will be the Canine Good Citizen testing, scent work, handling skills, trick training, “Doggie Olympics”, and our ever popular lure course.

Local non-profit organizations are welcome to come and spread the word of what they do. There is no fee for non-profits to participate, but we do ask for a donation to our raffle. This year all proceeds for the raffles will be donated to the non-profit organizations that are participating.

In addition to all our other activities, we are very excited to announce a microchip clinic (courtesy of the wonderful and generous Chester Vetrinary Clinic), and our new Beer Tent! Local breweries & wineries will be represented from 3-5 on Saturday. Please note that the actual Dog Fair will close at 3pm, but vendors are welcome to stay open if they so choose.

Thank you for taking the time to read about our event and organization,
