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.

My Corgis love playing with all dogs, but the few times that they spotted a Corgi they have gotten very excited. One time at the dog park another woman came in with 2 Corgis and my 2 came running across the park to greet them and then only played with them until we left. There seems to be a special bond when they recognize each other.

Comment by Fay Bay on August 19, 2011 at 11:25am: My QP's first corgi meetup! Yay!

Comment by Bradly and Jenny Boesen on August 19, 2011 at 10:06am: The only allergy here is german chocolate. It's not a severe allergy for me ( I just break out in hives), so if anyone has a german chocolate dessert, feel free to bring it.

Comment by LA Stewart on August 18, 2011 at 11:53pm: My husband has a lactose issue, but he knows what to avoid.

I do not eat meat, but eggs and cheese are OK.(Not a vegan, just a veggie.)

I am not planning to bring strawberries, oranges, or coconut. I imagine coconut is easy to avoid. I never buy coconut.

Comment by Lisa and Izzie on August 18, 2011 at 11:12pm: We cant wait! Ill bring something yummy to share! Does anyone have any allergies? I know I am allergic to strawberries, oranges and coconut.
