Day of Show Help Needed

We are looking for help from our club members at the show! No prior experience or dog show knowledge required!

6:30 AM

• Help Jaimie set up trophies and rosettes (cover with table cloths, hang banners and organize prizes). If you can stay, help Jaimie quickly tear down these tables at the end so the next clubs setting up can move in.  – 1 person
• Set-up Breakfast Items and go to Dunkin (down street) for coffee – 1-2 people. If these people could keep the table clean/refreshed throughout the morning and stay to clean up the food quickly at the conclusion of the show, that would be ideal
• Set-up Raffle Items Tables – 2 -3 people. Put down table covers, put out and accept raffle items as they are dropped off. Create paper bags for raffle tickets to go in. Sell raffle tickets throughout the show. Do the drawing of raffle tickets at the conclusion of Best of Breed. Clean up tables at conclusion quickly so the next club coming in can set-up. (Jaimie will bring all supplies needed – cash, cashbox, raffle tickets, tape, paperbags, table covers, markers, pens)

8:00 AM

• Mark the show catalog with ring placings – 1 person

Shopper and/or Bakers – If anyone would be interested in shopping for the breakfast items (or cooking breakfast items) and bringing them that morning (or getting to Jaimie by day before) that would also be much appreciated! Last year we did baked mini muffins, egg bites, cookies, Nutrigrain bars, mini water bottles, and coffee. Jaimie can provide more details.

Please contact Jaimie Reinhard (Show Chair) at shipeJL@gmail.com or 484-529-8302 as soon as possible if you are able to help.

 The exact showtime will be confirmed the week before the show (likely 8:00 AM). Help will be needed starting 6:30 AM, with cleanup completed before noon.

Thank you for your continued support of SVGSPC and for helping make our 2026 Sweepstakes & Specialty Shows a success!
