Tomorrow I am planning on driving down to Citrus Park to pick up the special event forms. I was having the hardest time trying to open up the document on my computer. This way, I can map out everything and get an idea of what I want.
I talked to the KONG company and they do not do any type of sponsorships, but donate some toys and items to the event. This will make excellent raffle items or possibly prizes for the contests.
I am also in the process of writing my sponsorship letter. It has the West Coast Mastiff Rescue letterhead, this way, every sponsor knows who this event is for. I want to throw the best possible event for them! They deserve it!
If anyone can think of anything, it would be wonderful. After I get my sponsorship letters written out, I'm going to seriously need some volunteers to help distribute. Does anyone know of anyone that would be willing to donate printing, banners, etc? I can have WCM fill out a tax receipt! Please let me know!
Thank you!!!!

Good News everybody...
Well I received an email from John. He now directed me to Joanne. I guess she is in charge of the special permits needed for the event. Sheesh! It's just going from one person to the next. Life I guess?!?
Anyhoo, I received the paperwork needed to fill out, here's the thing, it's all scrambled up. SOooo...I emailed Joanne and I am waiting for her to resend me the folder zip download.
Anna, if I still can't open it, do you think I can send it to you? That way you can open it for me?
You have a fast computer. Lol! If not, no worries, I will figure a way.
I looked into getting PetCo as a sponsor and it is a huge possibility, but I seriously need someone who understands how to read all the legalities behind it. I just do not understand. Lol! I'll learn as I go, I guess.
I'm thinking of having one HUGE sponsor: Petco, and then two or three little ones, like a dog food company and maybe dog toy company: KONG? Love Kongs!!!
I'll probably need to get banners made, but I need to wait and see how much money and budget will go into this thing.
So that is all I got so far!

Update
Howdy Y'all!
Well it's been a waiting game with renting the Citrus Park open grass area. I just emailed John again and am still waiting on his reply and paperwork. I'd like to start getting sponsors set up. I'm hoping to get big enough sponsors, to where we can have adoption goodie bags for all the dogs that get adopted out. In August, I will be helping West Coast Mastiff rescue with their BIG DOG ROCKS event out in San Diego. Last year they were able to hand out cool adoption goodie bags. All the rescues got the left over goodie bags. And talk about cool stuff. We got Kong Wubbas, toys, treats, coupons for free vet checks, and grooming. Pretty neat. I definitely want something like this with the event!
Also, I spoke to President Elaine Hudson of West Coast Mastiffs Rescue, and she has plenty of hook-ups for radio stations, and tons of vendors. She said she would help me get them there. WOO HOO! Just another step closer to having a super, sweet, successful event!
