PT gatherings in Chicago area?

Even though it has been cold outside, since it warmed up a bit here today it made me think. It seems that some of the PTers get together with there pups at picnics and the like. I live in the Chicago area and as soon as spring comes around I would love to go to one of those gatherings. I think Sylvia and Harley would love to meet some new friends. It just popped in my head, but I thought it would be great fun. If anyone is planning something like that please keep me posted. Thanks!:)

Diana, I happened to be visiting the dog side on Binx's behalf and happened to see your thread.

Go Here to see a thread on the latest plans for a Chicago area gathering. I don't think they want us to bring our own pets to this one, but it's still a fun show to go to. They have all sorts of pets, not just dogs or just cats, so we hope you can join us! :)
