Kia's Birthday Party ~ what day works best?

I would like to throw a little shindig at the Orion Oaks Bark Park.

It's officially titled as Kia's Birthday Party because "Kim's Belated Birthday, Kia's Early Birthday, & Andy & Kimmy's Engagement" Party is just too long. ;) :D

It'll be the weekend of June 25-26th. So, what I would like to know is what day works best for most people.

:)

I appologize for this being so last minute. It's been hectic around here.

Either way, we hope you can make it!

I'll talk to Ralph and see what he thinks, but I am guessing Sunday may be better. He and his dad usally work on the basement on Saturdays, and our dance show is Thursday and Friday night. We usually have the Friday night cast party, and people don't leave much before sun-up!!

Well I'll be finding out tomorrow what my schedule is for next week so I'm not sure if I'll be working both days or not (I'm always scheduled Saturday). I'll let you know!

Hi! We would love to come, hopefully Sunday would work for me. I'm already scheduled to work on Sat. the 25th. The next week's schedule STILL hasn't been posted, but I will try to be off on Sunday. I should know in the next day or two.

Happy Birthday to Kia (and, to Kim! and, congrats on the engagement, too!)! If I could afford it, I'd go, just so I could say I've been to Michigan! :) :) I hope lots of folks can make it to the celebration!

:cool:

June 25/26 is 9 or 10 days away ... weekend AFTER this coming one.

Either day OK - Sunday prolly the better one for us.

Point to Note:

We have "our" Pavilion #7 at Findlay reserved for the weekend (Sunday)
after Kia's Party - the Sunday (July 3rd) of the 4th of July weekend ...

Are there going to be enough folks who will come to both events??
The Orion Dog Park is a BEAUTIFUL Place -
complete with a great *Swimmin Hole* for the Dawggies!!

If we need to choose only one event -
let's go to Michigan and cancel the July 3rd Gathurin at Findlay.

Now that I'm full-time at the funeral home, I don't work weekends anymore, so I'd LOVE to celebrate with everyone! Just let me know when and the directions. Sunday works best for me too!

NOTE: The NEW, north side of the Bark Park opens Saturday, June 4, 2005! This fenced area includes trails and field areas.

It was 7 acres to begin with...I think it's easily double that now. :D

Now they just need to expand the parking lot. :rolleyes: :p

Here's a cropped version of their PDF file. The Bark Park is circled in green, the parking lot in yellow, the expanded area in red, and the swimming area in blue. :)

From where I live it's probably a two hour drive.

But from where Andy is currently living, it's about a half hour away. So I only am able to take Kia on the weekends.

Aw man, that's the day of the Florida meeting.

My family and I are hoping and hoping to make it to Michigan this year. We're not sure if we'll have enough money to do so but we want to because it'll be the last big whoo-ha for our family on the 4th. My aunt and uncle are selling their house because they can't afford it anymore (it's HUGE and has been in the family since my mother and her siblings were born. :( ) Anyways, I think if we went we'd be up there the week of the 4th and maybe the week after. Is anything at all planned for then? I'd much be at a PT Meeting than be with some of my family up there. :o (Some of them are incredibly stuck up. :o ) Besides money, the only problem we have is finding someone who wouldn't mind 3 dogs visiting as well. :o


It's just wishful thinking that we'll be able to make it up north this year, but if we do there's no way i'll miss visiting some PT'ers.

I have to work that weekend but will be there in spirit!!

noooo not that great park! looks good!!! crap... :(

well, will be thinking of your kia!

HAPPY, HAPPY EARLY BARKDAY, KIA!! :D

pictures please so I'd be there! ;) oh and that means..more pictures of you, kim..yay! heh.

I talked to Ralph last night, and he said he thought we would be able to make it. He actually thought Saturday would be better since we don't have to work the next day, but I voted that either day would work.

"We have "our" Pavilion #7 at Findlay reserved for the weekend (Sunday) "
In case you need a head count, we will not be able to attend the Findlay gathering - :(

"From where I live it's probably a two hour drive."

What city is it in? I looked up Williamston, and that's 2 1/2 hr. drive north of us. Is the dog park much farther? :confused:
