Here are a few more competition ideas, they do require slightly more financial outlay than the drawing one, but have always been popular at fairs/shows I've been to:
Guess the name of the dog, with a soft toy dog as the prize.
Guess the number of dog treats/biscuits in the jar, with the jar of treats/biscuits as the prize.
Guess the location of the bone - have a picture of a garden or a map, overlay it with a grid of numbered squares and get people to pay to put their name down for the square they think Fido has buried his bone in. The prize could be an squeaky toy bone or an edible treat one.
As to other things you could sell, I can't think of anything else you could do in a week, but for future events once you're a registered charity there would probably be quite a few things you could get printed up like pens & mugs. I get sent catalogues at work, by people who will personalise just about anything including lollipops & other sweets. Next time I get one I can forward it onto you if you'd like - we don't buy anything from them so the catalogues usually go straight in the bin.
