Exhibitor Information
The London Humane Society is gearing up for its 27th annual “Bark in the Park” Dog Walk-a-Thon. This year’s walk will be held Sunday June 5th, 2011, at Greenway Park from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

We would like to invite you to become a part of our annual event and we hope it will be our most successful yet. Your participation will go a long way to providing the animals at the shelter with food, warmth and medical attention.

Since 1984 our goal has been to create a fun and informative event that raises both funds and awareness for the London Humane Society while building lasting relationships with members of our community. This family orientated event attracts people of all ages and backgrounds, and takes place in beautiful Greenway Park where a 5km route has been mapped out for our pledge earners. In addition to the walk itself, participants are invited to visit our event tents which house a wide array of exhibitors who offer products, services and information. A showcase of entertainment includes pet trick contests, agility and canine unit demonstrations, CPR and first aid for dogs and product giveaways.

For $125 your organization can have an 8 ft table and two chairs in one of our two Exhibitor Tents. If you are interested in booking a table in one of our two Exhibitor Tents, please fill out the Exhibitor Application and return to us by April 22, 2011. You may decorate your table in any fashion that you wish including display boards, samples and literature (Electricity is unavailable). You may also sell products and merchandise providing you have a current vendor’s permit displayed on your table. Vendor’s Permits are issued by the City of London. This is your responsibility.

Greenway Park is located off Springbank Drive between Wharncliffe Road and Wonderland Road. Take Springbank Drive to Greenside Avenue. Turn onto Greenside Avenue and the event site is past the pollution plant. You will turn right as the road forks just before the plant. Follow the LHS event signs down to the reserved parking lot by our Showmobile. Upon your arrival, please head to the Exhibitor Sign-In table in front of our Showmobile. A committee member will escort you to your location. Many participants arrive as early as 8:30 a.m. to complete their set up before the 10 am start time for the walk.

WE ASK THAT YOU DO NOT BRING BALLOONS TO THE EVENT AS THEY POSE A SERIOUS CHOKING HAZARD TO THE PARK WILDLIFE. Give away items are allowed, pending approval. Please check with Events Coordinator before booking your table.

Each Walk-a-thon participant will be required to visit your table in order to have you “stamp” their “Bingo card”. Once this card is complete, participants enter it into a special draw at the Showmobile for a chance to win our Doggie Delight Gift Basket.

Please note: Your $125 donation is due in advance (May 5) of the event. Please make your cheque payable to the London Humane Society with a memo to Bark in the Park.

We would like to thank you in advance for your interest in being a part of the Bark in the Park. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
