There are adoption booths, vendors, agility demos (see Jackie Loo in action ;) ), police dog demos, dog obstacle course (a favorite of mine...and Mini's), people and doggy massage station, dog contests...and of course the walk/run.

I'm not sure what is going on for us that weekend yet, but it might be possible. Don't think we'd make it at at 10am, but maybe before the walk at 10:30!

Forgot to ask what time you plan on getting there. I HIGHLY doubt we'll make it there for opening.

Says there is a $2 parking fee. Does this hold for this event too? (I just have to ask... Where i come from parking is always free. Now that I'm getting out and vacationing i'm finding out that's not so in the rest of the world :D ...Now i know to look before heading somewhere. It's nice to be prepared with cash for this stuff... which S.O. never carries on him otherwise.)

Also, I looked up directions and the park is on the North side of 43. Nearest major crossroad is Lawson Rd. to the west.

Hmmm, wonder how long it would take me to get there? I would love to hang out with ya and watch Jackie Loo do his thing.

It is about a 2 hours drive for me, so probablly about 2.3-3 hours longer then it takes to get to Findlay.

Crow, I'm not sure about a parking fee, I don't ever remember paying one but I'll check with my mom. Kimmy might also know.

And Robin, I would love to hang out with you! It's further north than the bark park you came to so it'd be a little longer trip :/

Amy, that would be awesome if you could come!

I don't recall ever paying a parking fee in the past. :)

This sounds like a whole lotta fun~ I've never taken Jackie to a dog park before :p I'm wondering how she might react to all the excitement :eek:

She's quite a Lab !!!! With lots of energy to deal with :D

I'll have to scurry if I want to get my pledges handed in on time!!!!

I can't wait to meet Jackie Lou! :p

Any idea what time you guys planning on meeting up?

*laughs* Nope. In the past, I've always coordinated a meeting spot via cell phone with my sister.

Since it sounds like we might all be arriving at different times, it's usually the best thing to do, in my opinion. :)

I'm planning on being there 8:30-9.

That's what I'm planning too. :) My sister will be coming too with Seamus. :D

Unless something changes, I am planning on coming. We may shoot to be there more between 9-10am. I'm not sure I can drag the puppies out of bed to be on the road before 7 am! ( I have a hard time getting Sadie to go before I leave for work at 8!)

I don't think we'll be arriving until about 10.

Kimmy, i agree that's the easiest option.
