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.

Thanks Kim. I am looking forward to meeting you.
I wrote the shelter manager back because it sounds like she is setting up our picnic inside the agility area which I believe is fenced in. I asked her if we can eat with our dogs in there with us. That is how we did it at the Wisconsin picnic and it was great. I'll let you know when I hear from her again.
I went shopping and got a big bag of Purina dog food today. I already had some milkbones and papertowels. I am going to start making catnip toys to donate as well. I make them for my local humane society and they sell them for $5 each. I make between 150 - 200+ every year. That is pure profit to the shelter since I donate the yarn and time and another lady provides the catnip. (She used to grow it until it became too much work. Now she just buys it and passes it on.)
I better get busy since Bradly & Jenny say I only have 10 more days!

I got a response from the shelter manager of Friends Forever Dog Park and Shelter...
Hello Lisa,
Glad to hear from you. In answer to your question, the small dog
park is located south of the shelter. I have in mind our agility park
for your picnic, it is located on the southwest corner. The agility
park has easy access to parking and the shelter entrance. We will have
tables, chairs, ez-ups and a wheelbarrow for you. Please let me know of
anything further you may need. We are looking forward to your event.
Thanks,
CarolDid anyone read that and say WHEELBARROW???
The wheelbarrow is where we will put our donations.
I really like how helpful Carol has been.

Yeah! New people joining the group! Welcome Chris and Andrew!
I sent another E-mail today to the Friends Forever Dog Park to talk about setting up tables and using their 2 EZ-Ups. If anyone else wants to bring an EZ-Up feel free. The shelter manager said we can bring whatever we want. Kim said she will be bringing one. Bradly and Jenny said there is almost no shade, so we may need to create our own shade.
