I propose May 1 or 2 for the Findlay Birfday Bash II

[moosmom]

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.

I can bring the cake.


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.

[anna_66]

The date sounds good to me (but still too far away for the girls).
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"??

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"
Show Off!

I meant for the 18th...but if you want for all three, we can see what happens

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).

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!!

[clara4457]

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?

[4 Dog Mother]

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!)

[shais_mom]

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?

[All Creatures Great And Small]

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! )
