2008 Bemidji Game Fair & Pet Expo
The first Bemidji Game Fair & Pet Expo was held June 21 & 22, 2008 at the Beltrami County Fairgrounds.
It was a joint endeavor by the Bemidji Pheasants Forever and the Paul Bunyan Dog Training Association to show the community some of the outdoor sports that are available and promote getting kids outdoors. We also wanted to show them some of the great "stuff'" that can be done with your dog.
We had almost 2,100 people and over 400 dogs attend the two days of the Game Fair & Pet Expo that included Dock Dog competition hosted by DockDogs Northern Stars, Beltrami K-9 Unit demonstrations, Willow Creek Kennel seminars, Search & Rescue, sheep herding demos, agility demos, flyball demos, youth and 3-D archery, trap shooting, retriever demos and much more. There were indoor (the Commercial Building) and outdoor vendors, food vendors and local rescue organizations and dog breeders represented as well.
People and dogs were able to watch or participate in DockDogs, 67 dogs competed and over half were from this area, there were shooting sport games and kid & dog games to play. And a lot to watch and learn!
There was no admission charge to enter the Game Fair & Pet Expo, and although we had perfect weather, we were prepared to hold the event rain or shine.
