You Donβt Know What We Did Last Summer! So Hereβs the Full Report π
In July 2020 we had the privilege to host Sharo Fest - a Bulgarian charity dog awareness event. We were overwhelmed by the positive response received from everyone involved and the way the whole festival rolled out! We made friends and portraits with 27 dogs over the course of 2 days, gathered enough donations to secure the food of a local dog rescue for a month and connected with hundreds of genuine human beings! ππΆβ€οΈ On top of this, one of the regional TV channels made a 13 minute report for the festival, which was broadcasted every day for a month, making sure all potential sponsors hear about us and now the acorn has grown into a tree β Sharo Fest 2021 will be a nation-wide treat catching event, raising awareness and funds for abandoned and mistreated dogs (which is a HUGE topic in Bulgaria β for this we will soon have a separate post on our website, as it is not something that can be explained in brief).
Our Special THANKS goes to:
Stanislava & Mario for agreeing Mecho π§π¬ the Gentle Bulgarian Giant to become the face of our cause.
Sean & Netty for giving us their consent to feature Barrie on the main poster π
Maica for agreeing to have one of her handsome triplets Pablo, shine for us π
and last but not least: Lora and Vulric for supporting us all the way! π
Our friends at FANATIC.BG took care of the large format vinyl printing & all merchandise for which we're forever grateful.
The exterior of the venue was set as a mini exhibition...and YES, we were proud of it!
Dad Philip was the main force behind the charity merchandise! ππΌ
Our life-long friend and veterinary doctor of the festival Dr. Yadkov ππ»
