COBLESKILL — The New York State Canine Expo is coming to New York as the result of significant effort. The event will take place Sept. 27 and 28 and feature a number of exhibits, breeds, vendors, workshops, and more.
Organizer Lois Goblet said that the effort is a great opportunity for Schoharie County as it brings a statewide organization to the Cobleskill Fairgrounds.
The expo will bring experts from across the state, allowing dog owners and potential owners the opportunity to get to know much more about different breeds and caring for their canine friends. It allows owners to offer a more "enriched" life for their dog, Goblet said.
There are a number of free workshops and lectures during the event, alongside some paid demonstrations. For those interested in signing up now at https://www.nyscanineexpo.com/ there is a pre-payment discount, including an opportunity to purchase tickets ahead of time.
There will be multiple events discussing different dog breeds and mixes. There will be assistance from both Animal Shelter of Schoharie Valley and the Susquehanna SPCA, showing a "muli-county effort," according to Goblet.
Cooperation with the Cobleskill Fairgrounds has meant that the event will have a great venue. The TasteNY building will be converted into the "Doghouse" where beer and wine will be served and music performed. The Fairgrounds will also be open for campers and is a "perfect venue" for camping, said Goblet.
The event is especially important, said Goblet, as it is the first time the Expo has been hosted in Schoharie County. It is the result of a marketing grant that showed the "talent of our work" and allowed "so many events in one venue."
Everyone is welcome to the event, both from Schoharie County and beyond. A number of visitors and exhibitors are coming from out of state.
Included at the Fairgrounds are a number of vendors, including local farms and artisans offering Autumn-themed goods and activities. Those looking to outfit their houses for the coming months can come to get cornstalks, mums, pumpkins, cider, cider donuts, and more.
"It's gonna be the Fall place to be," said Goblet. The event is sizing up to be annual, with plans already in the works for next year.
This expo is a chance to be a better dog owner and caregiver. The hope is that increased knowledge can help reduce animal abuse and neglect. "We can do better as humanity," said Goblet.
