PatriaPet Exhibits at 31st Annual Schuyler County Italian American Festival

July 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Clifton NJ -PatriaPet, LLC; a premier manufacturer of pet products that celebrate heritage will take part in this year's Schuyler County Italian American festival. Dog owners who call Italy their homeland can visit the PatriaPet booth and celebrate their heritage by purchasing PatriaPet’s Italian dog collar, leash, charms and doggie tee shirts.

“We are very happy to be taking part in this Italian Festival,” says PatriaPet owner and president Jorge Gutierrez. “Italy was one of our first designs and Italian festivals rank up there as some of our most enjoyable events. People are so excited to see the Italian flag design on our products.”

The Italian American festival was originally conceived by a small group of Watkins Glen Italian Americans to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption that takes place in August each year. The Virgin Mary was held on the shoulders of the men in a procession through the streets of Watkins Glen.  Held for many years in Layfayette Park in Watkins Glen the event was small in the early years. Growth brought the event to its current site at Clute Park.  Now a three day festival the event welcomes 50,00 visitors each year.

The 31st annual Schuyler County Italian American Festival takes place on July 30, 31, and August 1, 2010 at Clute Park, Rt. 414 in Watkins Glen on the southern shore of beautiful Seneca Lake.  Admission is free.

Each adjustable PatriaPet collar comes in small, medium and large and embodies the design of a specific country’s flag in bold and brilliant colors. The high quality PatriaPet collars contain a black ionized nickel d-ring, a heavy duty black buckle, strap lock and strap keeper.

PatriaPet dog collars and leashes are manufactured from 100% polyester webbing. Polyester webbing is highly mold and mildew resistant. The webbing also dries more quickly than other collar materials. The majority of dog collars available today are made of nylon. Decorated nylon collars are traditionally embellished with sewn-on or glued-on ornamentation which can become frayed or fall off through the life of the collar. Printing on nylon material is normally achieved using superficial printing methods which can rub or fade off as well.

The highly durable polyester webbing material found in PatriaPet collars and leashes can withstand a high heat printing process known as dye sublimation. The dye sublimation process permanently infuses various national flag-inspired designs on both sides of the webbing and will not run or fade. Unlike jacquard looming processes which cannot duplicate fine details of flag emblems – dye sublimation printing can print the smallest emblem detail while maintaining the authentic look of the flag‘s design.
