Marketplace: Upcoming Events May and June 2024
With the new car I have to stay with smaller events, and likely indoors because I can’t fit my tent or my larger setup items. I’ll be staying with the smaller animal-themed events and perhaps a few others, especially my Panhandle Trail exhibit. But no Carnegie Farmers Market this summer, I’ll miss being there and seeing everyone, but I’ll be shopping there and I won’t miss the preparation and setting up and packing up for what turned out to be not much in sales. these two events and possibly a third have done well in the past and I’m looking forward to them.
Here are two animal-themed events I’ve been attending practically since they started!
The organizations sponsoring both events, below, gave me financial support for caring for Mewsette, Jelly Bean, Giuseppe and Mr. Sunshine last year.
HCMT paid for one of Mewsette’s visits to our regular veterinarian last year with exam, imaging and medications. Hearts and Paws granted $300 toward Jelly Bean’s exam at our regular veterinarian. If you can attend, please do! If you can’t, please consider a small donation to help them help others like me who need assistance with care for their pets.

I’ll have all of my handmade feline gift items, custom pet memorial votives and custom portraits, but no art or prints. See my Handmade Gift Gallery for a preview!
You know that all my feline-themed art and gifts were inspired by real cats I rescued and/or fostered over the years. Many of the recent ones were fostered for Pittsburgh C.A.T. and I am supported by them when I foster for them. It’s a great partnership.
This event raises a huge amount of money to support TNR and rescue, especially all the medical care all the cats receive.

If I lived near you, I would be at one of the events.
I know, I wish you did, that’s often when I see friends and it makes the events more fun.
Here’s to many successful events! Thanks for joining Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Thanks so much! So far so good, and because I’ll be going to fewer events, I’m really looking forward to the other two–I added one in June since this post.
