I think that September would be a good time for a Corgi picnic. The weather might be cooler for the dogs. September 25th works for me.

Also, if you liked the Freeport Dog Park the last time, do it there again. It sounds like a really nice place. I would love to see it. I only mentioned a more central location because Freeport is so far north. Are most of your members from the Chicago area? If so, the location is the best for most members. As a matter of fact, I have a friend in your area that is thinking of attending with her Corgi as well.

I would rather drive to Freeport to a nice dog park. I can not recommend the dog park in my area. It is basically a fenced in field next to the sewage treatment plant. Plus there is no shade because the tiny trees were put in last fall.

Who in that area will be in charge of the picnic? If you had the picnic at the same place as before, contacting the place and setting it up should be no problem. Someone has to find out all the rules of the park and get all the paper products, etc.

At the Wisconsin picnic they asked each family to give $5 to cover the cost of paper plates, silverware, napkins, bottled water, pop, and ice. They also provided buns, meat, and cheese for sandwiches and rented tables and chairs with that money. Personally, I think there was plenty of food without the sandwich stuff. Just keep it simple.

Were there enough picnic tables at the Freeport Dog Park or did you have to rent tables for the last one? Since there is a shelter there as well, perhaps we could get tables from them. Everyone can bring lawn chairs.

I think I have rambled on enough!  I just wanted to get some ideas out there.

I would love for my Corgis to get together with another group of Corgis.  They had so much fun at the last one.

Hi Christina and Ginger. I'm sure glad you have Ginger to keep you company. I also have been sick with pneumonia for 4 weeks. Just got back to work the other day. So my prayers are with you and hope you have a speedy recovery. You take care and rest or whatever you need to do to get well.

Hello Corgi people! I've been out of the loop lately, and I saw a couple of posts inquiring whether I'd have my corgi picnic this weekend. Last year I had all intentions of having a corgi picnic on May 21st, 2011 (there wasn't enough interest last year and not worth the money and time to set up a picnic because of that). In the meantime, I came down with a serious medical problem that I am addressing at this time. I was ordered (by my MD) to let go of many extracurricular activities until I am well. This is tearing me up because the corgi picnic was one of my favorite events to plan and look forward to seeing you folks! However, I have no choice but to take care of myself at this time, no matter how long it will take. But I have all hopes of putting together this event in the near future, so please let's be optimistic and send a few prayers down my way. I will keep you all posted as things happen. Thank you, and know that I miss you all... -Christina (and Ginger)
