if your town hasn't
included reindeer in their winter event planning, tell them about
us!
scheduling for another
fun display year in 2012 - call now
If the date you want to book is marked "booked"
on our calendar below, or the date you would like isn't shown, contact us
anyway. We may, if possible, adjust our schedule or open new dates to
accommodate your needs. We'll do what we can to fill your request if
it is at all possible. There are only so many days available though,
so booking early is critical for daily rental availability. Booking begins early each year (we're talking
before our current season ends, current client's rebook) so if you have a date in mind for your event, we can't stress
enough to book early in the year.
Our reindeer only travel within Oregon.

delay - - contact us now to reserve
your
date for the 2012 holiday season!
Short
Term
Displays -
Reindeer displays are ideal for anyone looking to draw a crowd to their
holiday event! When our reindeer arrive, out of nowhere, people seem
to appear before we are even out of the truck. By the time we have
the display panels set up, there is always a crowd gathered. The
funny thing is, most of the crowd doesn't know exactly why they are
excited and what they are waiting for! Then the doors to the trailer
open and out jump the reindeer! The ooohs and ahhhs can be heard
throughout the crowd over the bells that our reindeer are wearing.
That excitement and anticipation is one of the many reasons why our reindeer are so popular at
holiday events. Reindeer are like unicorns - many people want to
believe in them, but since they haven't seen them, they don't think they
actually are a real species and they have a mystical
quality. Are they really reindeer? They can't believe it!
We've had people spend hours around the pen just looking at them over and
over and asking us questions about these unique animals.

Our displays are custom designed to work with your event,
although we do have some animal/people safety rules that always apply.
We'll work with you to provide an outstanding addition to your event! We display only
throughout the state of Oregon. We can recommend other reindeer
owners for displays in other states.
We hope you understand when we
say that reindeer are not petting zoo
animals (see antlers in photos for one of the reasons why). For safety
to your clientele and our animals, the reindeer must remain in their
display pen for the duration of the display time. Photos can be
taken through the display panel grid.

Each display is quoted
individually depending on display requirements, time and day we have the
reindeer on display & specific
client requests.
We can take your request to
bring a
particular reindeer for your event, but can not guarantee that reindeer
will be available, as the one you ask for may already
be reserved by another client, or in the case of injury, out of commission. We do our best to honor your request,
but please understand if we can not. The good thing is that all our
reindeer have great personalities and no matter who arrives, your crowd
will not be disappointed!
Basic charges:
$750 is the absolute minimum
charge (not including mileage) for 2 hours or less of basic display with
no special requirements for the display location.
$925 is the minimum charge for
4 hours of display, not including mileage.
$225.00 per hour after the 4
hour minimum is met for additional hours of display up to 7 hrs.
$1,750 is the minimum basic
day rate for 8 hours of display (not including mileage) with no special
requirement charges added.
**Additional charges may apply
to your display request.
Indoor displays or displays
that are located further than 100' from truck/trailer unloading area - add $200 set up
charge.
On years when available,
reindeer calf petting station - add $150 for full day/$75 for 4 hr booking
(facility must provide hand washing stations).
10% discount on day rate for
back to back display date bookings (example- Sat/Sun full days). Discount
applies to full day rate only; mileage and any additional charges are
added after day rate is calculated.
Mileage charges for travel
time is at $3.00 per mile, round trip. 30 mile credit each way is
allowed per trip.
Display includes 2 reindeer,
15' x 20' containment pen, reindeer handler to answer questions,
set up, clean up, liability insurance for the reindeer and a great holiday experience!
You
provide safe, flat display
site cleared of all debris,
*tent or overhead shelter if required by
weather for your clients
to enjoy viewing,
**appropriate parking
close by for our truck/trailer (within sight of display area), ***
lighting for night
displays around pen (see below for more info on appropriate lighting),
security personnel
for keeping your crowd back from the reindeer as they are transported back
& forth from pen to trailer,
& ****advertising
and onsite signage
for event.
* - we use a small pop-up for
keeping our equipment out of the rain. This pop-up is not intended
for use by people viewing the reindeer at your event. If you wish
to have a cover for your crowds please arrange to set up your tent before
we arrive with the pen and we will set up our pen along side of your tent
structure.
** - we use our truck to store
excess equipment rather than clutter up our display site. So we are
never out of sight of our animals while they are in the pen, parking
must be within eyesight range so we can grab what we need quickly
and not leave the display site unattended.
*** - for safety, lighting
needs to be hung from above instead of coming in from the side of the
display pen. When lights shine in to the pen from the side, the
animals and handler are blinded, which creates an unsafe situation.
**** - Attendance will increase
greatly if you advertise that the reindeer will be at your event.
Reindeer draw in crowds like you would not expect if you just let people
know they will be at your event. If your intent is to increase sales
we suggest placing the reindeer display pen in an area where your
customers must walk through your store or venue to reach the reindeer
area.
Our display pen is 15
feet x 20 feet. We will not display in an area that requires less
room than we consider comfortable for the safety of our reindeer. Display area must be
relatively flat so pen can stand securely. Grassy areas are not a good surface for set up
unless you don't care about how it looks after the display, as reindeer
have very large hooves and will tear up the grass. Grass must not
have any chemicals (fertilizers etc) added 60 days before the reindeer are
to be on that surface. Responsibility
for covering and protecting inside flooring is our clients. Our pen
has metal poles and reindeer have sharp hooves. For inside venues we
suggest laying down a tarp, then sheets of 3/8" plywood before we arrive
and put down our tarp. Our tarp is not sufficient to protect inside floors. Walkways
to and from an indoor venue must be protected also.
Ask us what works well for these areas.
