Hi Everyone!

 

I was wondering if anyone was interested in planning or wanted to throw ideas out for this years corgi picnic.  It's been awhile since Carter has seen anyone of you guys and I know he misses his corgi buddies =D

 

~~Please send some love to Christina.  She planned last years picnic and is unable to continue to plan due to health issues.~~

 

Here are some of the ideas that have been thrown out there

- Freeport (Freeport Doggie Website) is where we had it last year.  We could do the same thing last time and do like a potluck type thing.  I don't know if Mike & Lisa wanted to plan it again.

 

Wasn't sure if you guys wanted to go to the same place.  I found a dog park in Hoffman Estates (Bo's Dog Park).  I've never been there but the park looks nice.  I'm not sure if they have day passes though and if they would let us have the picnic there.

 

Just trying to throw ideas out there. Let me know what you guys think or if you want to plan it =D

 

Hope to see everyone and their corgi's soon!

perfect =))
I will pass by the park tomorrow again..I think that in the beginning of the road I saw an office building. I will read the permit sign carefully this time....Good night!
A dog park permit may be purchased by:
  1. Visiting the Sugar Creek Administration Center in Joliet, Isle a la Cache Museum in Romeoville, Plum Creek Nature Center in Beecher, or Monee Reservoir in Monee.
  2. Downloading the Dog Park Brochure and mailing the application form and fee to the Sugar Creek Administration Center.
  3. Attending a Dog Park Permit Day, at which Forest Preserve staff visit the dog parks three times a year to sell permits on-site. Visit the Event Calendar to find the next Dog Park Permit Day near you.

this is the only info I found about getting the day pass

As we make this official And we have the need info for getting passes I will contact all my corgi students and people from my salon that have corgis 

I am headed that way today. I will check it out.
ok, I just spoke with a lady from the parks dept. and she said "you have to go to the closest office to get a day pass." when I told her I was from out of town, she said you can fill out the form on line and send in. BUT you HAVE to put the day you are going to be there on the form. I was able to ask her about ez-ups and she said not allowed.  she seemed to be in a hurry to get off the phone, so that is all I got to ask about.  she wasn't rude, but not very helpful either........good luck!

When I called yesterday, I had the same problem.  I felt she was always trying to answer my questions with as little information as possible and then get off the phone.  Several times I had to tell her that I needed more info or a better explaination.  She had to put me on hold twice to get more info.  It seemed she was not actually located at the park because she had to go get a map one of those times.

 

If people can not buy a day pass at the park, I think we are in trouble.  First of all trying to explain to everyone that they must apply for their pass 2 weeks ahead and by mail is confusing and also many will say forget it. Others will not notice and show up that day without a pass.

 

Lisa (in the comment above) said she could go there today.  Maybe when she talks to someone on the grounds there will be a different answer.  If not, we may have to pick another park.

I really think we should do a potluck. It just seems more appropriate? And there's been alot of chatter and I haven't been able to catch up. Which park are we currently looking at?

 

And I actually went to Bo's before it was Bo's it used to just be Willow Dog Park. And I'm not sure how its exactly set up now, I need to just drive by but I'm out of state at the moment. There was a little playground thing across Lexington Dr. (its just a driveway not a street/highway thing) and I think it had tables etc. Or if anything we could honestly just walk over there and whoever has some card tables can do that for setting food on, and everyone can bring whatever chairs they have and the rest who don't mind (I'm 21 I don't care XD) can bring blankets to sit on the grass with the pups. I'm pretty sure the park cant tell us we can't have a little picnic around the playground. Especially if we're responsible and clean up our entire mess really well. I dont think there are any pictures of Bo's are there? When I get back to Palatine {my town like literally next to Hoffman} I'll take a look and maybe snap a few pics for you guys.


I think that we can do the whole potluck idea if we just find the most accommodating park. I just feel a picnic would make everyone so separate! :c If the Wisconsin people can do it, we can too!

I really wish you would have taken the time to read some of the discussion.

We threw out Bo's Park way back on page 5. They would not allow a picnic and they required proof of all vaccines including Rabies, Distemper, Hepatitis, Para Influenza, Parvo Virus, Bordatella, Leptospirosis, and a current negative fecal test.

Well...

I went ahead and E-mail the park to see what reply they had about the passes. I just got this reply....

 

"When purchasing a one-day permit the same requirements and procedure apply. You can download the application and state what day you will be visiting the park or you can go to any of the facilities listed below. The fee is $3 per dog.

 
An applicant can register up to three dogs maximum. The applicant must show a current rabies tag or vet certificate for each dog. (Although vaccination for Leptospirosis is not required to obtain a permit, the District encourages pet owners to be aware of the risk for this disease. Applicants will receive a permit and ID lanyard to wear while visiting the park."
     
For me.... That means we can not use this park.
Now what??
