Animal availability will depend on weather conditions and safety considerations for the pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The event is scheduled for Friday, May 9, beginning at 10 a.m. and continuing until 4 p.m. or later, and will be held in the Harbor Freight and Marshalls parking lot in Deming. Vendors are currently being sought to participate, and community members are encouraged to come out, browse handcrafted items and meet adoptable animals in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Adding to the festive atmosphere, KDEM\u2019s morning host John Krehbiel will be on site providing music throughout the event, helping create an upbeat environment for visitors, volunteers and prospective pet adopters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Event coordinators say the goal is simple: bring the community together, support local creators and give animals a better chance at finding loving homes. Those interested in becoming vendors or seeking additional information may contact Beka at 406-468-8116.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Organizers also noted that supporters can contribute to the rescue\u2019s ongoing needs through its Amazon Wish List, helping provide supplies and care for animals awaiting adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Community members are encouraged to mark their calendars and plan to attend what promises to be a lively day of crafts, compassion and connection in Deming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DEMING &#8211; Animal lovers, local artisans and families across Luna County are invited to take part in a unique community<span class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/demingnews.com\/index.php\/2026\/03\/27\/crafts-companions-and-community-spirit-dagship-plans-spring-adoption-and-vendor-fair-in-deming\/\">Read More &rarr;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":207,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["entry","author-john-k","post-459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
