MAY? WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MAY?!?
As of right now, those dates work for me. I know Ralph wno't be ablet o make it, but prettymuch any time before Middleof May that is the case.
One thought...last year we did a gathering on Memorial day weekend. Three days weekends are often nice to allow people a little further away come in. If we wait until May 1/2, will our regulars, who still have a longer drive, want to come again the end of the month?
(Of Course my next thought was, lets make it the weekend before birthdays..but that is my BIL's wedding and I can't make it then, so I'll shut mymouth!)
That would work too. I would just like to be able to have a birthday party for those 2. The week before would probably be a better idea. You're so smart!!
Needless to say we're up for anytime:) Just let us know the date!
Smart, except for the part that if it is the 24/25 I won't be ablet o come. But really, whatever works for the majority is fine.Quote:

** The THREE Day Holidays of Memorial Day and 4th of July
would be Good Weekends to have a Gathurin -
give the more "Distant" Pet Talkers an extra day to drive!
We lost track of Who Could & Who Couldn't on the other thread...
What about SUNDAY, APRIL 18 ??
Other than possibly being :( *rainy*...
It's far enough away from Momorial Day weekend to do BOTH weekends.
Doing a Gathurin on the First and Last weekends of May might be
a bit close together for some folks.
So Phred, would you like to not do a birthday bash or do the birthday bash on the 18th? Mugsy is claiming blondeness. lol NO COMMENTS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY EITHER!!! hehehe
I am up for whenever the majority of the people can make it! I do hate to wait until the end of May, though..seems so long off, doesn't it?
"NOT" do a Birfday *BASH*??
:eek: Perish da thought!!
Only suggested April 18 to accomodate Hostess Amy ;) ;
and spread the dates a bit if we are also considering
a Gathurin on Memorial Day Weekend.
Some Folks might think an event on both the First and Last Sundays
in MAY are a bit close together.
And...
*I* think a *Bash* held within a month or so of the "Real Thing"
is "close enough" :p
Plus ~ the Birfday Purson(s) get TWO *BASHES* stedda just WUN! :D
Okie dokey! Whose bringing the cake? lol I assume our assignment is brats.....lol
Well, MY birthday is Friday, the 13th and you don't see anyone planning a gathering to celebrate!! :rolls: What's a girl gotta do to get a birthday party anyways????? Geez!!! :rolleyes:
Oh Phred, you are SUCH a weenie!!! Too cold?? How bout them long gotchees you firemen wear to fires??? And DON'T forget the chocochippee cookies!! :p
Just lemme know the date. Me and Carl the Cone will be there. (He' says not to forget his beloved Camille!) Unfortunately it might be a little too cold for the Mooman.
We need to start a menu request again. And YES, Mike IS expected to bring the brats. No brats, no entry. Got it???

Youguys don't have to make special plansforme...do what eer the majority wants. If we miss one, we'll catch ya'll at the next one!
Donna...we did have a gathering for my (Jan.30) and my mom's (Feb 3) either. Guess we just have to learn from Molly and speak up if we want a party!!!
sound good to me and if brats are required does my chili need to also make an appearance (will it be hot or somebody get me a gallon of water before my soul is lost to this heat:rolleyes: :D :D )
Well then, maybe the 18th is good and we can get Donna a week late and Robin and Mike 2 weeks early.
Just a forewarning....Mike made chili last weekend and I brought some to school for one of my kids to taste (he LOVES hot food) and he drank 3 glasses of water and only at half of it! :eek: :eek:
Obviously, Mike's weenie wife doesn't eat it.;)
I'll make the chili! I love doing it. I'll also bring French bread to go along with it. I won't make it hot, but will bring hot sauce in case anyone wants to spice it up a bit.
My calendar is marked!!
And yes, I want a party!!! Complete with hats and noise makers. So there...I've spoken. :rolleyes:

The 30th sounds good to me
Last year I think we did the weekend after the 4th cause we thought maybe the park wouldbe too crowded on a holiday weekend. I don't know if that is true of not.
The date sounds good to me (but still too far away for the girls:p).
Don't rightly know what I want to bring to eat, but I'll think of something yummy!

Uhhhhh...
Zaktly WHEN are ya "bringin da Cake"?? :confused:
We're talkin about THREE Gathurins so far...
#1 on SUNDAY - April 18
#2 on Memorial Day SUNDAY - May 30
#3 on 4th of July SUNDAY - July 4
And we can prolly find SUMbuddie who needs to Cellebrate a Birfday
for each event! :)
So - AMY - you "game" for All THREE??
As for the Park being "crowded"...
What do You and 4/5/? DawgMom think?
IS there likely to be a Big Crowd problem?
If we RESERVE Pavilion #7 - we shouldn't have too much of a problem.
Zippy ~
"bring sunscreen"
:p Show Off!
:D
Okay everyone. I might be able to come down to findley, but miss little katie might not be able to make it. poor girl is terrified of car rides. But as long I could be there. So when is the date time?
Ok....those 3 dates work for me....I'm sure they'll be fine with BBB too....(but you still have to ask him! lol)Quote:

Phred, would you mind sending a PM to some of the regulars who haven't responded and ask them about the dates? I don't tink everyone is used tolooking in this thread, and I would do it, but our computer is till running so lsow, it would take me all evening!!
Once a realitively final decision is made I will call and reserves the date(s).
:) We gotz a Pastry Chef!! :DQuote:

But HEY ~
Any of you Findlay Regularz who are *watchin* but
not *talkin* - Jump rite IN Here and speak up!
We don't want to leave :( EnnieBuddie out!! :)
Hi All!
I know I will be able to make the April 18th one. I'm not for sure about the holiday weekend ones. I'll just have to wait and see. I work in retail so its a pretty busy time on those weekends and not so easy to request a day off. Don't worry about that though. Just plan them when the most people can come and I will try to make it to all of them. I love them and Katie and I can't wait to see you all!! :D
Robin :)
I can't really make any guarentees due to my work schedule, but I think I can make it on April 18th and possibly the July gathering. I can't make the Memorial Day one - I will be dog sitting my sister's two - Tara and Hutch. Hutch and Leo would probably enjoy it, but the girls both get car sick :(
I don't know what I will bring, but since I will be traveling the day before, it will not be anything hot. Maybe a salad or something like that?
As far as I know I will be around for any and all dates mentioned. On the April 18th date, I will bring my cheesy potatoes and on the warmer dates my potato salad. As far as how busy the park is on the 4th of July, I am afraid I can't remember. But I think most main "Findlay" holiday activities are at the park in town. And I think most "regular dogpark people tend to do other things on holiday weekends and the dogs get the weeknights. (It's hell getting old - you can't remember anything!)
Don't worry about "its hell getting old" Diana. I can't remember this topic is here for nuthing! ;)
I **should** be able to make it. I have to work the weekend before (Easter) so nothing planned as of yet except ~~going to the doggie park!!! So count Keegie and I in!!!
Not too sure what I will bring. Maybe taco dip or if its cold hot artichoke dip?
And something else?
I don't think we can make the April 18th one, and I have to work the 4th of July weekend, but the Memorial Day weekend sounds great! (Darn, and my birthday is July 9th - I could have gotten some cake out of that last gathering! ;) )
I can make any/all of them..I have no social life, AND Binx loves the car.
I thought we did do the fourth last year, and that it wasn't too crowded...but, I might be mistaken. BUT, let's reserve it soon. We have to have that close pavillon, we just have to!
Yeah, ACGAS will make another Ohio fest! Will your daughter and kitty be in attendance?
Ditto. :)Quote:

Smokey and I would love to come this year.:D He loves car
rides. I'm not that great a cook so would probably bring a
dessert of some kind. (Cake,pie, cookies,etc)
I'd like to see what April weather is like & decide for sure
closer to the 18th. It sounds like fun.:)
I don't think I'll be comming this year, after finding out last fall that Buddy is an over protective widdle pupper:o being around so many other pups, I can't bring him:(
Sierra was such a good girl she had soooo much fun!! I know she'd love to come, but I can't leave Buddy home alone.:(
He's my baby boy... and I just can't bring myself to do that to him!
He's been through so much in his short life already, I wouldn't want to stress him out anymore!
So I think I'll just have to enjoy all the pictures you guys post when you come back!!:(
I got the note from Phred, so even though I'm not sure if we'll be able to make it this year, I'm putting my vote in for Memorial Day weekend. If we make it at all, that would be the only time we'd be able to be there. And Sunday is the best for us because then we can drive there on Saturday, spend all day Sunday at the park then head home Sunday. I think it's something like a 6 or 7 hour drive for us, but we'd bring the motorhome again so it would be a mini vacation.
I'm still working on getting Terry to say we'll be there. Haven't got any definite yeses yet, but no definite no's either, so I'm hoping we'll see you all then! :D
I have no life, so anytime is good for me. PROVIDING you give me at least a couple weeks notice so I can request the day off from BB&B.
I have invited my new friend Nadra who lives in Indy. We met her on the second to the last run (as well as the last one) we made. She volunteers at the Indianapolis Animal Control and takes dogs to Pets Mart to get them adopted out. She is driving for me tonight on that transport I did and she drove from Indy to Davenport, IA (almost 6 hours) tonight so that 4 dogs didn't have to die. She's a pretty amazing woman! She said she would mark it on her calendar, so it sounds like she's planning on coming.
I can probably make any of them. If I have to work I can trade weekends. Not sure about the 4th tho. If I have to work I won't be able to trade it.
And Last year Jo it wasn't busy b/c we went on July 12 I think. The week AFTER the 4th
:p
*IF* I am able to make it (and that's a big IF as right now tickets are running close to $500), I would leave May 14th (Fri) and stay until the 17th (Mon). It's possible I could make it in August but have no clue what dates (summer class schedule hasn't been released).
Please do NOT rearrange your schedules to include me!!!
If I make it, I make it. If not, there's always next year. :)
Maybee da plane will bust -Quote:
