The Warren County Fair is a great place for carnival thrills.
It’s also a great place to do business as thousands of visitors converge on the fairgrounds each and every day.
P.K. Embroidery owner Paul Kring realizes this and had his fair booth packed with hats, T-shirts, and fuzzy baja pullovers that are warming to have around when the nip of autumn fills the air. The bajas were a hot item and Kring says he has a variety of clothing options available year-round at his store on Durham Street.
He can also tackle all of your embroidery needs, including embroidery work on ball caps.
Also setting up shop at the fair was animal lover Dallas Neal. She was distributing information for her pet-friendly business called The Happy Yapper Pet Resort.
Dallas said the idea for her business scampered into her head last year when looking for a place to board her own dogs while on vacation.
“We looked around and really didn’t find a nice place where we felt comfortable,” said Dallas. “I wanted to create a place to give dog owners peace of mind. I didn’t want a scary, pound-looking kennel. I wanted it to be more of a home environment with comfy beds and plenty of toys and that’s what I’ve done. I have a fully fenced-in play yard and I’ll give them plenty of attention.”
From her vision, The Happy Yapper was born. Dallas started the business in April and says she’s been extremely busy ever since. “I like to hang out with dogs all day,” said Dallas. “It’s a great job.”
Dallas doesn’t offer boarding for cats, but she does provide home visits for any pet while their owner is out of town.
“I can stop by once a day for food and a walk, or I can go by three times a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner,” said Dallas.
The home visits are affordable. One visit a day is $15. Twice a day is $25, and three visits a day cost $30. If you’d like your dog boarded at the Neal home, the cost is $25 a day and includes play time in the fenced yard.
