Event Description

Illinois Corgi Picnic

Sunday, September 11, 2011

Noon to 5pm

Friends Forever Dog Park, Freeport, Illinois

Potluck Lunch

Welcome Corgi Lovers!

Everyone is invited to join us for an afternoon of Corgi fun!

We will be meeting Sunday, September 11 at Friends Forever Dog Park in Freeport, Illinois. This 10-acre park includes an agility course, an area just for smaller dogs, and a huge pond. The park is fenced so your dog can run, play, socialize off leash and go for a swim! This park was chosen by Pet Fancy Magazine as one of the top dog parks in the country!

Check it out! http://members.petfinder.org/~IL124/dogpark/index.html

There will be a potluck lunch. Plan to bring something to share with the group. I hope there are some good cooks out there! Otherwise, pick up some potato salad, brownies, or picnic food from your favorite grocery. Also, bring your own drinks and table service (plate, silverware, napkin, etc.). Other items you might want to bring are lawn chairs, coolers, sunscreen, dog towels, etc.. Whatever you do, don’t forget the Corgis!

To enter the dog park each participant must show a current rabies tag and proof of current vaccinations for each dog. DHLP is required. Bordetella is recommended, but not required. There is a $5 fee per dog for a one day pass. Daily passes are available at the information booth or in the shelter office the day of the picnic. No puppies under the age of 4 months are allowed in the dog park. There is a maximum of 2 dogs per adult.

The Friends Forever Dog Park is located at 966 Rudy Road just south of Freeport, Illinois. Watch for the signs on Highway Route 26. The Friends Forever Humane Society is a shelter for homeless animals which is also on the premises. Please bring an item to donate to their shelter.

Comment by mia, herky, & kim on August 27, 2011 at 2:34pm: please let us know how it is! I can't wait, just 2 more weeks!

Comment by LA Stewart on August 27, 2011 at 1:22pm: Lucky you! I wished I lived close enough to visit that dog park. I would probably take the dog there often. We take our 2 Corgis to the local dog park occasionally because they love the socializing so much, but our dog park is not that great. We also take them to dog training for the social aspect.

I hope Leena loves it! Let us know.

See you there soon.

Comment by Bradly and Jenny Boesen on August 27, 2011 at 12:46pm: Bringing Leena to Friends Forever today to get her used to being at a dog park. We want to make sure she can handle the excitement.

Comment by Kelly on August 21, 2011 at 10:02am: I thought I could maybe swing it, but with my baby shower being the day before in Indiana, I don't think I'll have the energy to drive up to Freeport the next day. I hope everyone has a great time and I hope to make the next picnic! Gibson misses his corgi friends! :)

Comment by mia, herky, & kim on August 19, 2011 at 11:14pm: We can't wait!!!

Comment by LA Stewart on August 19, 2011 at 9:49pm: Yes.... I counted your 2 Corgis.

I have 2 Corgis.

Mia, Herky, and Kim have 2 Corgis.

Mike and Lisa have 2 Corgis.

I think the others each have one Corgi.

Plus there are some sibling dogs. I assume they will bring their non Corgis, too.

Comment by Jason Fleming on August 19, 2011 at 9:41pm: is that including us?????

Comment by LA Stewart on August 19, 2011 at 6:11pm: That is 9 families. I think I counted 13 Corgis and a few sibling dogs.

I am still hoping for a lot more!
