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. A list of suggestions from the shelter is at the following link. http://friendsforeverhs.org/donate_p/donate-goods/

Comment by Bradly and Jenny Boesen on September 10, 2011 at 10:41pm: There's not a ton to choose from there, but it's worth 5 minutes. I'm pretty sure it'll be open both on ur way up and down.

Comment by Jason Fleming on September 10, 2011 at 10:39pm: we might have to stop there!!!!!

Comment by Bradly and Jenny Boesen on September 10, 2011 at 10:36pm: Leena's also had her bath. We're probably making some kind of pasta salad. Going to bring a second video recorder, in case we run out of room on the one on our camera. If anyone is coming up from s. IL, up 1-39, there is a Petro travel shop along the interstate at Rochelle that seels some dog themed welcome signs/bumper stickers/magnets and suction cup signs. We stopped by today when I went to take my teaching content exam, and yes, they have corgi themed stuff.

Comment by Jason Fleming on September 10, 2011 at 10:21pm: Alright both corgis had there baths made the roll-ups and now relaxing before bed!!!!! We are all excited bringing camera and lots of batteries!!!!!!!!

Comment by LA Stewart on September 10, 2011 at 9:57pm: TAFFY APPLE SALAD!

Wow! That sounds great. I can't wait to try it.

How much help was Izzie?

Comment by LA Stewart on September 10, 2011 at 9:53pm: My husband has everything in the car except the ice chest and food.

Tomorrow we plan to get up early and hit the road ASAP (7:30?). It is going to be a LONG day! I won't get home until after 9pm and then I'll be up at 6 am the next morning to get ready for work. We are supposed to go to dog training Monday night, but we already told them that we will propbably not be there.

I'm getting too old for this!

I often feed my Corgis a smaller amount before travel. I usually give them about 1/2 of their food. I have packed their dinners for tomorrow with my picnic stuff. I plan to feed them their dinners after the other Corgis go home, just before we get back in the car. I probably will give them about 1/2 their dinner at Freeport and then give them the other 1/2 once we get home. They will sleep in the car on the way home, so they won't be hungry.

Comment by Lisa and Izzie on September 10, 2011 at 9:46pm: Alrighty.....izzie and I made some Taffy Apple salad for everyone! I plan on bringing my folding chair....and costco size box of bones for my donation. we cant wait!!!!
