Chicago Area Pet Show

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Ok, so we've pretty much decided that Saturday is the day we'll meet. Now we just have to pick a time.

Efrat can't make it until about 2:00 pm, so we need some input on that.

Any suggestions?

Early or late are best when it comes to the crowd.....

[ChiRen]

Aww, I don't think I can make it now.

One of my brothers is coming home for spring break and his friend was supposed to pick him up, but something came up. Now my mom has to pick him up and my dad is out of town, so I don't have a ride there.
I'm so disappointed.

Well, the show does go until 8:00 pm Saturday and here are the events listed on the schedule for later afternoon/evening.

5pm: IL Police Work Dog Demo
6pm: Freestyle Awards & Demo's

There is also the Dock Dog Competition and they will have practice at 5:00 and a "Wave" at 6:00 (whatever that is... ).

All the judging is done in the morning though.

So, I've never gone to shows on Saturday evenings (always been an earlier the better person), but if you guys want to try meeting at...say 4:00 pm or so, that would be fine with me......

Ok, so from the replys to my thread in Cat General about the best time to be at cat shows, it sounds like anytime from noon on is a good time.

I don't like the crowds anymore than Sara does - and it does get crowded, so how 'bout we decide to meet at about 3:00 or 4:00 on Saturday? I completely missed most of the schedule 'cause I didn't scroll down far enough, but it turns out the Hedge Hog Olympics are at 4 & 5 on Saturday, so even though we don't need to see the whole thing again (not that exciting) we could stop in and at least catch a glimpse of the little buggers.

And so far I've only gotten responses from Efrat, Sara and ChiRen (who doesn't think she'll be able to make it) so Efrat and Sara, what do you say 3? 4?

Let me know what you think.

YLL,

Is THAT Sammy in the background of your sig??? Holy Moly has he gotten HUGE!!!

[Efrat]

3:00 will be good for us...BTW are all the shows in the scheduale dog related? where can we see that list you were talking about?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Efrat, go to my very first post in this thread and there's a link to the website for the show. You should be able to find the schedule there. Seems they have very little for cats besides the competitions, but I guess that's not surprising. They also have the Hedge Hog races which are....interesting.

We'll see you at 3:00 near the main entrance.
