Philly Picnic 2007: 5th Annual!

Sorry I have not posted sooner, but the date has been set for the 5th annual Philadelphia Area OES Picnic! The date is Saturday May 19th, and it will be held at the Fort Washington State Park in the Flourtown Day Use Area: the same beautiful place as we had it last year! Hope everyone from the OES.org Forum will join us again! The plan is going to remain the same, it will be another Pizza Party, as it seemed to be a hit last year, AND the owner of the pizza shop is also very active in RESCUE. His family does GSD rescue, so we are also supporting other dog rescue at the same time. Last year we raised a significant amount of money for NEOESR, and I hope we can do the same this year. More details will be coming soon, such as the Friday Night "No Tail" Cocktail Party at the Red Roof Inn, and possibly doing dinner after the Picnic (yes, we kept things rolling even after the picnic was over!) E-mail me @ chad_roeger@verizon.net to get on the e-mail list for updated info! Think Spring in Philly and Join the Fun! Chad :D

Sounds like fun!!! (I do GSD rescue also :D ) Any dog friendly hotels near by?
Yes, there is a Red Roof Inn in Bensalem, Pa. and it is 12 miles from the picnic site. It is also where we will gather on Friday night for a little meet and greet. It has been referred to as a Barktail Party, but with our sheepies it is more like a No-tail Cocktail Party! More info will follow, but I hope you will decide to join us! Last year we had close to 40 sheepies and a great group of people. The WiggleBus came all the way down from Mass. and brought Grannie Annie along. We have had friends come from as far away as Michigan to join us. Gotta love sheepie people!

I think you should still have a "gathering" at your house too!!! The dogs can't run around together in Philly.
Yes, that is true, it is a State Park and the dogs have to be leashed. Not a replacement for a good old fashioned rough and tumble play date! Not many places allow off leash fun. We are working on building an offleash dog park near my home for that very purpose. Hope folks will join us any ways, it is a very friendly group: both two and four legged!
The NEOESR picnic has always been on-leash only, and it hasn't stopped us from having a BLAST!
Verveup ,
You are head of the planning dept. for the Maryland function!!! I will still come to Philly. It will take me 6 months to get my place cleaned 8O
If there is going to be a sheepie fest in Maryland, Fred and I would love to attend. We are right outside of DC
I don't want to steal this thread,verveup was at my place (to help me groom guinness, she posted in the picture area) and SHE mentioned having a fest at my place (of course I agreed) so I may plan something but Philly is not that far!! We will keep everyone posted. I have 12.5 acres so the dogs could run while we eat and yap :mrgreen:

I Mentioned???
I think someone else holding a pooper scooper was putting that idea into my head.... And your house is not dirty!
OK OK OK ........... :pupeyes: I said I would like to have a sheepie fest here and that I thought it would be fun( I have met soooo many nice people on this forum) and you said it would indeed be nice!! We can do this!! But lets get this Philly Party started!!!!!!Maybe I will use the poop scoop pic for my Christmas card next year!!!
Time is flying by, and the picnic is coming up fast. If anybody would like to join us, PLEASE feel that you have been personally invited! I am trying to get a handle on the food order, so if you think you would like to join us, e-mail me directly (I don't get in the Forum much these days). Hope to see you there! Chad chad_roeger@verizon.net
I would love to join!!!!! I am sure Beauford would have a great time!!! It would be great to meet everyone
Chad, when is the drop dead date to let you know? Might have scheduling conflicts here but I'm really trying to swing it...
