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.

Feed before if you want (expect to stop). It depends on how good your corgis are with long rides. Forecast: 83 and sunny. Bring sunblock and bugspray (there are biting flies).

I have a question for all who are coming from fairly far away-should I feed my sweeties before we leave? We are going to try to leave around 7. Will it make them sick to eat and get in the car right away for a long ride? Hopefully we will be early so should I wait and feed them once we are closer to the park? I know it's a no-no to feed them at the park and we won't be home til late Sunday night.....

I am so glad you are bringing a video camera. Corgis are always in motion.
What ever you bring for food will be fine. I finished making my dessert this afternoon and am starting my black bean/corn salad now. If you don't feel like cooking, pick up some potato salad or something at the deli.

We are bringing our camera/video recorder. Not sure what we will do for a dish, yet. We want to be mindful of everyone's dietary preferences. Anyone have ideas?

@ Brenda
If you can't make it for the lunch, come after that for a while. We will be there from Noon-5pm. Hopefully, you can come even if it is for a short time.

I am bringing lawn chairs & cooler. (No EZ-Up.)
For food, I am bringing a black bean/corn salad & a fun dessert. Also, some Dorito chips. I have my plates, forks, napkins, and drinks ready.
I packed my camera, driving directions, dogs' shot records....
