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 Bradly and Jenny Boesen on August 31, 2011 at 5:16pm: 50 minutes from here to Freeport. Time it took to drive to pick Leena up from the breeder? 6hr 30 min there and another 6 hr 30 min back

Comment by Bradly and Jenny Boesen on August 31, 2011 at 5:14pm: Yikes! Uh, 11 days. Jenny's at work and I had class earlier today.

Comment by LA Stewart on August 31, 2011 at 4:54pm: No count down today??

Bradly & Jenny??

Comment by LA Stewart on August 30, 2011 at 5:40pm: We should add up the time we all spend driving to this Corgi Picnic!

The things we do so our dogs can have a fun day! Of course, I plan to have fun just watching them run around.

Comment by Lisa and Izzie on August 30, 2011 at 5:35pm: 1hour 56 mins 94 miles. But then again that's taking 90. That's borning. Plus I might head to a horse show beforehand.

Comment by mia, herky, & kim on August 30, 2011 at 5:35pm: I am ridiculously dumb when it comes to directions. the kids gave me the tom tom for christmas a couple of years ago. they got tired of me calling them not knowing where exactly I had ended up and how to get where I was going. usually it is because I decide to take a "short cut" and end up in another town.

my daughter will be with me and will help navigate, but unfortunately she inherited the "where the heck am I and where am I going" gene

Comment by LA Stewart on August 30, 2011 at 5:29pm: Yours is even LONGER than mine!

My directions look pretty straight forward. Plus, I have a secret weapon. I make my husband drive and I am the navigator. If I had to do both I would probably get lost.

Comment by mia, herky, & kim on August 30, 2011 at 5:24pm: 3 hours and 58 minutes. I am terrible at directions so I will be leaving early. I always, and I mean always, take a wrong turn!

Comment by LA Stewart on August 30, 2011 at 5:14pm: I printed my directions on Sunday.

3 hours and 32 minutes :(

I guess I should print out the form and fill it out.

I had to look TomTom up! Now I get it.

Comment by mia, herky, & kim on August 30, 2011 at 5:10pm: I just printed the forms so I can fill out, I printed directions off mapquest, and I am thinking about charging the tom tom up...
