Possibly a re-do of The Gathurin? ...http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/smile.gif

Well ...

We have "tried" to hold a Findlay 4th Gathurin in years gone by ...

And for the most part they turned into a *bust* with poor attendance,
mostly due to "Family Commitments" that couldn't be avoided.
We've had to last-minute Cancel the Pavilion more than once. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/frown.gif

As for the Canadian Neighbors ... they have a hard time getting to Findlay -
there aren't too many of them living a "comfortable drive" away from Findlay.

Is anyone interested in a July Gathurin at Findlay ???

As of right now, our calendar is free.

Kia's birthday is June 29th, but I think I'm going to have to work
the weekend of her special day.
Don't think she'd mind if we celebrated it later. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/wink.gif http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/biggrin.gif

We'd be there on Friday the 4th or Saturday the 5th,
possibly early(leaving by 3pm) on the 6th.

Anyway, I am sure we would be available for at least one day of that weekend - probably more.
Let us know.

If we can make it, I'd prefer Saturday. :)

saturday, i'll bring baked beans, both vegan and regular. and of course, princess pretty paws

I would love to attend but I don't think downtown Findlay would want me a second time.....LOLOL :D

Have phun!

I could do the 4th or a different weekend -
but I have to work 11am to 11pm that weekend.
so I won't make it - but anyone that wants to pick up Big red can have her! ;)

Hmmmmmm ...

Wonder how the BRD would handle that?

Getting her outta da Howze (and living to tell about it) would be interesting.

Packing her into the back seat of da Bus, with Clipp & Clopp already there ...
another interesting tail or two, I'm sure.

We'd prolly be OK at the Park for a while ... till the BRD decided she hadn't seen MOM! :eek:

true story!!!
I don't think getting her out of the house would be an issue - once she would see Clip and Clop she'd bust out of there for sure.
My neighbor who comes over and lets her out for potty breaks on occasion has been known to take her for car rides with their Shih Tzu Zoey and he is amazed at how well she travels. She likes to spend time over there but when she starts edging for home he knows she wants to be home with her kitties and wait for her momma ;) Funny - I WISH she would stay as close to me at HOME as she does at the park - I often have to get off the lawn mower and go SEARCHING for her b/c she's wandered over to the neighbors. :mad: :rolleyes:
but seriously - :(
there is no way I could be there even if I traded shifts and had to work that night again @ 11... :(
and people already have plans - so no one would trade with me either -
so iffin its on Saturday - looks like the BRD and I'll have to sit it out!
Its just the LUCK of the DRAW that my weekend is that weekend. Every 5th weekend - you just never know when it will fall!!

We usually do something with Ralph's family that weekend. I would guess now, that maybe it would be on the 4th, making the 5th better for us. I'll see if I can find out more. Most other weekends in July are out...we are on vacation quiet a bit that month!

Hello ... ???

< el Bumpo >

I think we've had 2 'IFs', 1 'Yess', and a 'Friday or can't' ...

Where's the Other forty-some Findlay Gathurers?

I think we need to hear from a few more folks before we run out of time ...
Feel free to jump in here and give an opinion. >>> Soon! <<<

I won't be able to make the trip for the 4th.

If you do one, would you give all the Dawgs some petting for me, please :D

We're not going to be able to make this one :(

The spirit is willing - but the checkbook is weak:(
