Utah~Strut Your Mutt~May 19, 2007

[dab_20]

That's great, I hope you come! Nebo doesn't always get along well with other dogs, and Keva has never been to anything like this so I'm not sure how well my two will be either, so you're not the only one. At least you can pick up Molly and hold her if you need to.

That would be great if we could divide up lunch items. I think there's some nice picnic areas with shade too. I'm not 100% sure there's tables, I can't remember, so bringing some blankets would be a good idea.

Well, I suppose we just hope for the best.

There isn't any tables there, at least not in the pond area. I haven't walked through the whole park, but I have walked around it recently and I didn't see any. But I am not 100% sure.

I'm SO glad you're coming, Danielle!

As long as Amy shows us where a Wal-Mart or grocery store is, we can bring some chips or something.

Here, lets make a menu...

Add what you're bringing.

Main Dish ~
Sandwhiches/supplies to make them (wolf_Q)


Side ~
Chips (Kfamr)


Desserts ~
Cookies?

Drinks ~
?

Plates, Napkins, etc ~
?

[dab_20]

I can bring plates and napkins.

Does my mom have to register to be able to come to the picnic?

[Kfamr]

Amy said that the event ends sometime around 12:30-ish, we can meet up around 1:00ish.

We drew a map as to where we can meet.

Amy thinks there's picnic table somewhere in the trees between the pond and event booths.

Okay that sounds great, then I wont have to miss much of her class either, just swing over and get pizzas and cracker, but petco is 2 minutes from my house and so are either pizza place, 5 minutes.

Pizza places usually open at 11 so that should be good,

Pizza Hut or Dominos?

Lets make a list of who likes what and what sizes everyone wants and I'll get those.

Anyone who is coming, please list what pizza you like and put them up here.

I'll buy all the pizza if some others want to bring drinks, plates, cups, cookies etc?

[Kfamr]

Either is fine for me - whichever is cheaper.
We estimate around 10 people in our group.
Maybe 2 pepperoni, 1 cheese, 1 supreme?

Here's the "menu" ~ If anyone else wants to add something, feel free...

Main Dish ~
Pizza (Vela)

Others/sides~
Cookies (wolf_Q)
Cookies/desserts (cmayer31)

Drinks ~
Water & sodas (Kfamr)

Plates, Napkins, etc ~

Are we going to meet there before Strut Your Mutt? Should we meet around 9:30?

The picnic sounds like a good idea. I can bring a side dish (a non refrigerated item) like chips or crackers. We might have some time to pick up some salad, too.

Could we also request another vegetarian pizza? Cheese is fine, but my husband and I are vegetarians so that's all we can eat.

What about for the pups? I'll try to make some yummy dog treats and bring those along, too. How many dogs are we going to have in all?

[wolf_Q]

I could swear there are picnic tables somewhere in the trees by the river...not by the pond, but its been a year since I've been there so I really don't remember. We'll figure something out.

Kay we can all stop at a store the night before and pick up stuff, there's certainly no lack of wal-marts around here lol. I just need to remember to get a cooler and hope it stays cool enough in the car until then.

Danielle, no your mom won't have to register, its just the area with the booths that they check your wristband to get in, anyone can go to the park without registering. By the time we have a picnic it will be pretty much over anyway.

[Kfamr]

Hm.. would it be easier if we all went to a Subway or something and ordered our own sandwhiches, chips, etc? That way we don't have to worry about tempatures of foods, what types of meat everyone likes, etc.

[Vela]

That's not a bad idea Kay. I can either bring picnic items or help with subway stuff if yall need. How do we want to work it? I'm definitely down for the picnic, they just wont let Soda into Strut your Mutt because she won't be 4 months yet. I will PM you all my cell phone number if you need/want to call to set things up! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! And I'm bringing my camera! (If I don't forget).

[cmayer31]

I can pick up cookies or desserts, or help out with picking up food while there.

[Pembroke_Corgi]

I just found out I got a sub, so I am coming for sure!

My husband wants to come, too, so we are going to leave on Friday afternoon after he gets off work, and won't get there till late. So, we would like to meet you at Strut Your Mutt. Is there a good place to do so?

Also, Eric may not walk with us as Adele and Vallis (we will be bringing all three along now) are not at ease (well Vallis is, but he barks, a lot ) in large groups of dogs...but maybe he could get the picnic set up.

Any suggestions on where is a good spot to meet?
