The 14th So Cal Corgi Picnic is ON!
.
WHO: all corgi lovers and their corgis, honorary corgis and wannabe corgis
WHAT: a potluck picnic with CorgiFolk
WHEN: Saturday, September 18, 2010; 11:00 am to 4?:00 pm
WHERE: Griffith Park, Los Angeles, across from Roosevelt Golf Course (map posted)
WHY: we LOVE our corgis!!
This picnic site is more rustic (read dirt/leaves not grass) and more public than our former site in Burbank, but...it's FREE!! I have to be there when the park opens at dawn to rope the place off, but that's a small 'price' for an unbroken sequence of So Cal Corgi Picnics! The parking is closer and so is the restroom!
There will be no Corgi Corral this year and there will definitely NOT be any agility equipment. No unleashed dogs 'cuz this site is on the street. I saw lotsa squirrels and even a CDX might be tempted!
All else remains the same: potluck, musical mats, donations to CorgiAid (even more since the park is free), silent auction, good friends, and CORGIS!!
C'ya September 18th!

Watch This Space!
Formerly held in September in Burbank at Johnny Carson Park, the So Cal Corgi Picnic is a free event and a fun way to meet other corgis and their families. A small donation per family is requested to offset costs, including park rental and insurance. Any $$ over is donated to CorgiAid.
Currently ISO a location for the 14th SCCP - possibly Griffith Park.
To be placed on the mailing list, send a simple request to dewawis@yahoo.com
(This addy dedicated solely to picnic info – NO spam, NO jokes, NO chain letters!)
This blog is the ‘official’ So Cal Corgi Picnic website and will be updated this summer with exact date, location and other info.
Plan to be there - same friends, same fun, same shedding, same food (only fresher!), same games, different location!
