scheduling for another
fun display year in 2023- contact us now
If the date you want to book is marked "booked"
on our calendar below, or the date you want appears booked up (2 or more
listings), contact us
anyway. We may, if possible, adjust our schedule or open new slots 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 in the
season,
and only so many reindeer and handlers to go out,
so booking early is critical for daily rental availability and long term
leases. Booking begins early each year (we're talking
before our current season ends-current clients rebook) so if you have a date in mind for your event, we can't stress
enough to book early in the year. Plan early if you would like to set up a
lease arrangement, where the reindeer stay on your site for 10 days in a
row or longer. USDA licensing, shelter, fencing and caretaking
issues all take time to work out.
Our reindeer only travel within Oregon.
Our Current Line-up
Top Row (L to R): Elf, Glitter,

Don't
delay - Contact us now to reserve your
date for the 2023 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 therefore reindeer 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 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 and only the handler
enters the pen. Photos can be
taken through the display panel grids.
Each display is quoted
individually depending on display requirements, time and day we have the
reindeer on display & specific
client requests, portage distances for equipment and other factors. Each
display has unique requirements.
Basic charges: **charges

Basic display
includes 2 reindeer in pen,
15' x 15' (or appropriate size for display space & time on display) containment pen, reindeer handler to answer questions,
set up, clean up for the reindeer and a great holiday experience!
You provide safe, flat display
site CLEARED OF ALL GROUND DEBRIS for us to set up our pen,
*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.
* - If you wish
to have a cover for your crowds please arrange to set up your tent before
we arrive with the pen and reindeer. We will set up our pen out of the way of your
client foot traffic pathways and clear of your tent
structure. We provide our own popup for the reindeer unless our client
puts them under cover.
** - we use our truck to store
the majority of excess equipment rather than clutter up our display site. By USDA
display requirements, we must be within eyesight of the reindeer at all
times while they are on display. Parking for our truck/trailer
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.
SPECIAL NOTES:
ABSOLUTELY
NO SNOW MAKING MACHINES ARE ALLOWED WITHIN WIND BLOWING DISTANCE FROM
THE REINDEER WHEN THEY ARE IN THEIR DISPLAY PEN REGARDLESS OF CHEMICAL
MAKEUP OF THE "SNOW".
FOOD VENDORS MUST BE
LOCATED AT LEAST 100 FEET FROM REINDEER PEN - SEE YOUR LOCAL FOOD
HANDLING DEPT REQUIREMENTS.
BAND AND MUSIC SETUPS OR
SPEAKERS MUST BE AT A DISTANCE FROM OUR REINDEER WHERE HEARING IS AT A
COMFORTABLE HEARING LEVEL. DECIBEL LEVEL NOT TO EXCEED 60 Dbs .
WHERE THE REINDEER ARE PLACED FOR DISPLAY. We will not set our pen
up closer than 200' from speakers, and volume must be low enough for
clients to speak without raising their voice or shouting.
*****It is a
natural occurrence for reindeer to lose their antlers once a year.
We have no control over when antlers are lost - it depends on light
exposure, temperatures, and each animals normal timing to shed.
Should an antler be shed during a display, we will use the shed antler as
a teaching tool to show viewers how the natural shed happens and what it
looks like and how much it weighs. There will be some blood on the
reindeer under where the antler was seated on the head - this is normal.
We can not clean the blood off due to the new antler growing in - which is
extremely sensitive to the reindeer. Most people are
fascinated by the shedding process and can't believe antlers grow in
just a few months. Should this happen, we ask for your
understanding. The reindeer is completely comfortable with just one
antler and the shedding process is not painful for them.
Our standard display pen
setup will be 15' x 15'; 10' x 20' or 15' x 20' (depending on
length of display time) and are made from 2" x 4" welded wire.
to make 5' x 6' panels. We will not display in an area that requires less
room than we consider comfortable for the wellbeing of our reindeer. During
inclement weather, we may decide a pop up in the pen is necessary to
provide shelter for the reindeer. This is our handlers decision
and non-negotiable. Our handlers will not set up our display pen
in an area that puts the reindeer standing in water. 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 the grass looks after the display, as reindeer
have very large hooves and will divot 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 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
without additional underlayment. Walkways
to and from an indoor venue must be protected also if they are of
damageable material.
Ask us what works well for these areas.
Dogs:
All dogs must be on
leash and the leash held by a person over 12 years of age and completely
able to control the dog. We
realize most dogs have never seen a reindeer, and allow time for them to
adjust to the reindeer when they first approach the pen. However, if the
dog continues to bark or be aggressive towards the reindeer, we will ask
the dog owner to remove their dog from the reindeer pen area. Dogs
are to be under the control of their owner at all times. We
reserve the right to ask the dog to be removed from the pen area at any
time if we think the dog is disturbing the display area or the reindeer
are becoming agitated by the dogs presence.
Leases
-
Minimum lease -10 days.
Each lease is priced separately, so please contact us with your plans
and we'll quote. Client provides approved pen and shelter setup
and 24/7 security.
We also lease for longer time frames than 10 days - contact us
for a specific price quote based on your requirements. The longer
the lease time, the less it costs for your per day charges. USDA license must be obtained or currently
held and in good standing by facility where reindeer will be on display
during full lease time frame (we can assist with info on obtaining a USDA
license) or you must provide one person we can train to oversee reindeer
care while they are on site for the length of the lease so they will be
covered under our license. Facility for reindeer housing & display can not have been
used for sheep or goats anytime prior to reindeer being on the same area.
6 foot grid fencing/pen with sturdy shelter must be provided, as well as
assigning at least one person in charge of care & feeding that we can
train on care & reindeer facts to share with your viewing
audience. Fencing material must not allow small animals to enter the
pen. We require a person to stay in some kind of housing/RV at the pen site overnight at
all times that the reindeer are on lease or be under camera supervision. We can provide this
person if requested, at an additional charge of $300 per day. We deliver,
pick up, provide feed and food/water containers, decorated halters, bells,
lead ropes. Veterinary care must be locally available and Vet
notified of reindeer in the area during lease time.
