*Memorial Day Weekend *BASH* @ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ *SUNDAY* MAY 28, 2006 ~

Weclome Heidi! I am another originally from the Findlay, area, although I live in Toledo now. I graduated from Van Buren. Your danes are gorgeous!! My sister has a female Harlequin Dane (as well s a dalmation and a lab mix). They currently liove in Cincinnnati, so I'm not sure if they are coming to Findlay for Memorial Day or not, but we could have a real Dane gathering!!!

Hello all! I have been away from PT so long, it's making me sad Thanks to lv4dogs I found out about this Findlay meeting! Ever since moving to Kentucky I've been hoping I'd get a chance to make it up to one of the infamous meetings... looks like this may be the one I talked to my better half, he seemed excited about it, so you can most likely count us in! We have been planning on taking a camping trip up in Ohio anyway, so why not do it that weekend? It feels good to be posting on PT again and I hope I get the chance to meet some of you!

It would be so great to meet you and that gorgeous Ruby girl!! Hope you can join us!! And what alittle cutie Butler is! Congrats!!

Rubymutt! Wow, you're in Kentucky now? It would be so great if you got to come to this gathering - it's the one Paul and I will be at!

That would be awesome to have some other danes there. Our pupkids have been around many other dogs, but not around many danes. They wouldn't know what to do with thereselves, they would be so happy. I am really looking forward to the gathering on Memorial Day. I also talked to my cousin and she maybe coming, she has a weim and a viszla. Its marked on the calender.

I've been wondering about what to bring as well. I know I'm pitching in on the b-day cake and bringing some ultra yummy dog treats but as far as people food goes I'd love to bring some yummy salad or the like BUT I'm driving from out of state & I'm also going to be away from home for 6-10 days as I'll be visiting some other areas while I'm out that way. I don't want anythign to spoil or get squished and I'm also not sure what stores or the like are in the area. I'm not one who usually brings some "genaric" snack to any gathering but this time I think I will have to. I guess It'll probably end up being some sort of chips & possibly some drinks too. Then though I am worried that many others from out of the area will bring the same items & we'll have too much of one thing & not enough of another.

Since we have so many "Newbies" coming ... I'll post "The Menue" early to
give folks an idea of what we've had in the past.

The Pavilion has lots of nice, large, heavy duty Picnic Tables (prolly seats 100 or so),
a "buffet counter", multiple Electrical Outlets, an overhead light, 2 charcoal grills (outside),
a concrete floor, and is enclosed on the two sides that get the prevailing winds.
There is NO "refrigeration" other than ice chests you might bring.
(And there's NO ice vending machine within a 20 minute drive! )

Do a *search* for past Findlay Gathurins - there's tons of pictures of Past Gathurins -
we've be doing them for several years

Here's a *link* to the 2005 Memorial Day Gathurin >>>
