DogDay
AFTERNOON
Doggie Doo-Do’s & Don’ts
Astoria Sunday Market is a dog-gone friendly place. We are also a bustling and lively
affair so not all dogs will be wagging their tails during their stay. If you have a nervous
dog or one that is not well socialized please consider leaving him (or her) at home.
Here are a few Doggie Doo-do’s and Don’ts to help make your visit more
enjoyable for yourself, your pup, the vendors and all the other good folks visiting
the Market.
1. Short Leash: Please keep your dog on a short leash and do not use
retractable leashes. The Market is a crowded place and it is easy for other
visitors to trip over leashes (or your dog).
2. No Doo-Doo Allowed: Please be sure your dog has been thoroughly walked
in an appropriate area before coming to the Market. If your dog has taken care of
his business at home he or she is less likely to need a relief at the Market. If
Mother Nature does call, please PLEASE clean up after your dog. We have
doggie-emergency cleaning kits at the Cargo Trailer by the Food Court and by the
Portable Office parked at Duane and 12th.

Fashion Show Theme: The Artistic Pooch
The Pet Works and Clatsop Animal Assistance are joining
Astoria Sunday Market in creating a Dog Days at the Market
Fashion Show at the end of August.
Astoria Sunday Market has become a place where dogs show
up in their Sunday best. Some are walking while others are
strolled through the Market or carried in backpacks. The
Fashion Show is your chance to really bring on the glam and
strut your fluff.
This year we are excited to announce that artist Bill W. Dodge
is partnering with us! He will be offering prints of his painting
– “Dog Days at the Market,” for sale with 50% of proceeds
going to Clatsop Animal Assistance!
There will be some fun events for dog lovers and families with
contests and prizes. Watch for details at:
www.AstoriaSundayMarket.com or “like” our Facebook at
www.facebook.com/astoriasundaymarket for the latest news.
3. No “tinkling” on vendor products or
tents! (One would think this doesn’t
need to be spelled out but alas…)
Please curb your dog. Some of
our vendors charge dog-owners a
cleaning fee of $50 or more and
the Market supports them in this
endeavor.
4. Inquisitive Noses: Dogs follow their
noses, especially around food. We request
that dogs and their noses be kept away from
our food vendor booths. We suggest having
a partner sit with the dog at one of the
tables while you find your favorite snack
or meal.
5. Not Everyone is Nuts About Mutts:
Please remember that not everyone
loves dogs the way you do and some
people may even be afraid of dogs –
especially the large breeds. No matter
how sweet and adorable you know your
pooch to be, please be respectful of others.
We strive to maintain a fun and pleasant
environment for everyone and with your
cooperation we can continue being dog-
gone friendly!
