*Memorial Day Weekend *BASH* @ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ *SUNDAY* MAY 25, 2008 ~

[Kfamr]

Do you think the warden would notice if I brought my extra large, ~16h black and white "dog" to Findlay?

She'll fit right in with Dakota!

[pitc9]

i make a good cole slaw and baked beans. i've written it on my calendar. see you then.

YIPPEEE!!
I get to pass the beans onto someone else!!

Joyce, I've been on bean duty the past few times and I don't even LIKE beans!
I always sent the left overs home with Phred!!

Hey Phred, did you hear that!?
No more unopened cans of beans for you to take home!

[anna_66]

Joyce, I'm glad you'll be able to come with Peanut. I'm sure she'll enjoy herself.

Zip, sorry you won't be able to come this year. We'll miss ya!

So Karen, how about it? You gonna come?? Please!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Hey Phred, did you hear that!?
No more unopened cans of beans for you to take home!

Awww, NUTZ!

You make GOOD Beans!

Will there be a sign-up list for food? Are there specific items needed, or does everyone pretty much just bring a dish to pass or munchies?

[ramanth]

I was wondering about the dish to pass sign up sheet too, but figured it'd come closer to the date.

Joyce, it'll be nice to meet you and Peanut.

What are the hotels of choice in the Findlay area? Or I guess I should ask, which take pets?

[Karen]

I was wondering about the dish to pass sign up sheet too, but figured it'd come closer to the date.

Joyce, it'll be nice to meet you and Alex.

What are the hotels of choice in the Findlay area?

There are a ton of big chain hotels in Findlay. We often stay at the TownPlace Suites, which is a Marriot brand, but there are other hotels right there on Tiffin Avenue, as it is pretty close to the Dog Park. Miss Hoppy always stays home to guard the house, though, so we don't know their pet policy.

[wolf_Q]

I'm jealous, I wish I could go! There's a decent chance I'll be there for Labor Day though.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Once again I seem to have managed to *tweek off* the Multitudes ...
*Complaints & Suggestions* are pouring in regarding the inclusion of Past Dishes
on this year's ~MENUE~.

A typical note:

"Could you not list the dishes that people have brought before?
It makes people feel as though they HAVE to bring something off that list."

OK ... I COULD "not list the Past Dishes" ...
But I DO list 'em in order to try and answer the frequently asked questions:

* WHAT should I bring
* WHAT do you NEED

NOTICE!!

The inclusion of Past Dishes in The MENUE -
is NOT, and never has been -
a demand, suggestion, hint, nor pleading to ANY Pik-Nik-ers that
they have to nor should bring something on the "list".

Feel Most FREE to use you imaginations and/or personal desires when choosing
what you wish to contribute to the food offerings ...
If YOU like it (and can cook it or steal it) - bring it. I'll try almost ANYthing!

Stuff we've never had >>> (probably for good reasons )
** Alaskan Salmon
** Maine Lobsters
** T-bone Steaks
** Lobster Salad
** Pizza
** Roast Turkey & Stuffing
** Bucket o' Klamz --- NO, I WON'T try them!
** Ice Cream Cones

If "Your Dish" isn't on the MENUE - ADD IT IN!!

[lizbud]

What,,,,,,,, no Klamz? Oh nuts.

[anna_66]

Phred I see Lobster Salad and Pizza...how about Lobster Pizza?! We have that at my work Oh, on second thought I don't think it'd warm up too good
I personally appreciate you posting the menu. I know we don't HAVE to bring what you have on it...I'd think that would be common sense

[Grace]

Phred - could I share some of the Kitchen Suppliez & STUFF with you?

I can get some stuff at CostCo.
