NAFHA Booth and LA County Fair in Sept, anyone want to help

Post by Fundad »

Good Day Valued Chapter Members,

nightdriver, Keith Condon, was awesome enough to get us a booth if we want it at the LA County Fair, at the Pomona Fairgrounds. We can have a table one day or multiple days. I plan on working it a couple of the days myself.

The Fair is in Sept. If anyone is interested in working the table and introducing the general public to herps please
respond and we will see what days you are interested in and go from there.

Thanks

I will commit to one full day at the Fair, and I'll bring a small assortment of friendly native herps for kids to handle and take pics with.

I need to go on a Sunday, so I'm thinking Sunday 9/13 or 9/20 will work best for me.

Thanks Jeff, I ll put in for one of those days for you.

I talk to you John, about what day you want to do one.

And Jim, well, you will need to commit to a day, cause I have to put in for it in advance or you can just join one of us on the days someone else is there.?

We have have a table for 1 day or 12 days, it is up to us. I just have to let them know what days, I need to get this form in soon, I think too.
So I will reach out to Matt and John next week.

Awesome work on getting this guys, and putting in all the work. I wish I could be there, but I'm finally back in India. Those of you choosing to spread the message in this way really deserve a hand. :thumb:

On the tree covered hill near the big trains. It was, and still is I think, called the "Caring for the Land" exhibit.

I was there Labor Day Weekend and checkout the hill, but didnt see any NAFHA or HERP signs. I did see a collection of reptiles, but the people there were volunteers for BLM. Is NAFHA sharing the responsibility with BLM?

Those herps are there throughout the fair. There were NAFHA volunteers at a separate table on 4 days at the fair. Matt G. and Jeff N. both did a day, while Fundad did 2.
