2011 Northeast Meet Up

So, not to be pushy, and I would absolutely attend at another site: I will contact the State of CT official to see if one cd reserve the picnic area at Penwood State Park, and puut up some portable fencing, for a weekend afternoon in early Oct (gorgeous foliage then) and once I have answers, will post and see if it should become a go-ahead. They already have grills for public use, and a big pavilion that would give shelter if sudden rain or bright sun, and clean tile bathrooms. It's also a mile from my home (we always walk there and my home cd be the backup/emergencies/command center) and near Houseofshamus. There is just one park road which I wd ask the DEP person if one cd have closed for a few hours (unlikely but worth asking--when they close the road for the season the park belongs purely to a few dog folks and some runners and bird watchers and is much safer for free-ranging dogs (against the rules but often happens). If you want a peek, Google it. If there is serious interest I can post some pix of the relevant areas. Needless to say, if it happens I hereby invite Kelly.

Sound like a nice place. It would be about a 3 hour drive for me....and with my kids activities, I can guarantee you I will not have a free day to go that far away. Since there are so many NE people on the forum, you should all go ahead and plan.

Our Sheltie Rescue is having a picnic on October 9th at Deer Path Park in Flemington, NJ. This is a super fun event and anyone is invited. I will be going to this, so anyone who would like to meet up with me is welcomed to join me. I will start a new thread about this event and include the flyer for the event once it is available.

Not a bad drive for me at all, I just verified that dogs are allowed on the ferry. It will be interesting to see how my penny reacts to her first boat ride!
The park looks beautiful! Keep me posted on dates.

The picnic is very nice. Everyone brings their own lunch. The rescue has a bunch of sheltie games and raffles. All proceeds go to the rescue.
 
picnic in NJ sounds great!

we should be able to make the trip over to NJ for the sheltie picnic - if they have it on Oct 9 that will be perfect. Oct 10 is a school holiday here so we will have a long weekend.
looking forward to it!
