  1. Tired of the countdown? So are we! So we're opening one day early for all y'all! The Facebook link for te GRTB Convention Center Shopping page is here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/921249895026663 You can also shop through the email that GRTB (Larry) sent out this morning.
  2. 4 days to go! Larry will be emailing a list of the participating vendors for everyone who does not use Facebook. If you get his GRTB and Grapehounds emails, you'll get this one. Keep you eyeballs peeled!
  3. Yep, we'll send out a list or something for non-Facebook people also.
  4. The official announcement just came out so I wanted to share it here, too. Since the Greyhounds Reach the Beach(tm) event was postponed due to the pandemic, the vendors decided to come together to offer the shopping portion of the event online, via Facebook. If you participated in the Greyhounds in Gettysburg Virtual Vendor Weekend, this will be much the same. The Facebook page (to be announced) will the the "virtual convention center" where you can browse all of the merchandise. The photos will be linked back to each vendor's shop website, or have instructions for how to purchase. Many of your favorite vendors are participating, and many of them will be offering special discounts or donations to adoption groups when you make a purchase. The Virtual Convention Center shopping event will take place starting Thursday, October 8th and end on Sunday, October 11th. Further details coming soon!
  5. OMG, It's been too long since I updated this thread! But I do have news and some new items to tempt you guys with: Sliding glass door decals - because sure you can use painters tape but isn't that hideous? We have 5 different pretty designs in matte white. Subtle so as to not detract from your decor but clearly visible so the dog knows that the door's not open. (Apply them at doggy eye-height.... or at human eye-height if you have humans in the house who also tend to walk through doors! ) Iggy muzzles! You heard that right, I have iggy muzzles in stock in two sizes. They're so eensy they're adorable. New design of whippet muzzles that has the bottom blocked out for some pica protection. "I need space" warning badges. They come in pairs, the back of each in a pair is one side of Velcro. So you can stick them back-to-back on a leash or you can put them on both sides of a harness with a little strip of velcro on each. They're bright and are clearly read from a short distance - before people get too close to your anxious pup. Leash safety straps - a lot of people use a carabiner if they think their leash clasp may fail. Ugh, so ugly. Use our leash safety strap instead! I also now carry a few bright safety colors with reflective strips of the Houndstown spook harnesses and split leashes in matching colors. Total protection of those spooks! Click on the url in my siggy to go browse these items.
  6. Hmm, can't edit or delete my post so i need to make another post to fix a mistake. Only vendors who had already been approved to vend in Gettysburg are allowed to participate in this event. I'm sorry, I didn't realize that until I was told just now.
  7. I think it would be too hard to organize an event this size with less than a year to go. However, we're organizing a Virtual Vendor Weekend, basically the shopping part of Gig that same weekend done online. We're looking for vendors to participate and also starting to publicize it far and wide for attendees. The fantastic advantage of this is that nobody has to travel to participate! If you want to vend, the only fee is the 10% donation to Nittany. The central "showcase" or entry point to the vendor shops will be a Facebook page (although I'm tossing around ideas for people who HATE Facebook - let me know if you are one of those so I can gauge the need for it). The page will not be opened up to attendees until all the vendors are set up (likely April 29th or the morning of the 30th).
  8. It's been a couple years since I've been to it (vending with Diane from Scooby North America), but I'm coming back this year as my own vendor. (Yay!) I'm super looking forward to it!
  9. Hi Robin! Sorry, I don't. It is an idea that I play with every now and then, and have asked a few people who make them if I could sell them, but it never seems to happen. I have found some really cheap ones at wholesale distributers but don't like them. Always on the lookout for ones that are nice, though!
  10. So based on some feedback on the Facebook GiG group, I'll be bringing more rental muzzles and setting up a 2-day rental option for the hotel people. I'll have signs posted around also.
  11. I just saw this info about muzzles being required in the Eisenhower. As some of you know, I sell the Irish muzzles with the leather nose padding and was already planning to offer muzzle rentals for the dog-sitting and play area. If you guys think it would be helpful, I can make sure I bring enough rentals so you can have them in the hotel also. (The rentals are also the double padded style, but I mark them as rentals so that I don't accidentally sell them or people don't want to keep them.) I already have my system set up to offer a one-day rental, which I was envisioning as "pick it up today, keep it overnight and return it tomorrow". Would this be helpful?
  12. I'll be vending there again, but using my new business name (Sit. Stay safe!). I can't wait to show you guys the new safety gear we have in stock. I was leaning in that direction last year but didn't have very much stuff yet. Now I have full product lines of reflective jackets and leashes, rechargeable lighted jackets, collars and leashes, life jackets and of course the padded muzzles that everyone loves. Watch for Dave to be walking our ninja dog (Loki, all black greyhound) around the hall to show off how he can't be a ninja anymore. LOL!
  13. Hey all, I have reflective jackets, leashes and "overcollars" in stock now! I will of course be bringing them to Gettysburg so you all can try them on. The overcollars are cool... they just slip on over your dog's normal collar and has a large buttonhole where the leash goes through. So it doesn't replace your dog's collar, it just adds reflectivity! And the jackets are made out of amazingly light, soft fabric. I'm in love, I hope you will be too!
