| Calling ALL North Carolina Yorkies! MEETUP? Hey, guys and gals and fur friends!! I would like to begin making plans for a Yorkie Meet Up for April! I am thinking either the 15th or the 22nd, and here is the place I would like to go! http://www.gsobarkpark.org/index.htm Suggested hours would be 11-3, to give travelers lots of time to get there and play. Let me know if you have a different suggestion for the time. Country Park is fairly easy to access off I-40, and I tried getting there from both Burlington and Winston-Salem. The directions are much easier from Winston, so I think everyone should use the PTI exit 210 and go from there. I will post directions as we get closer, but here is a yahoo map. http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?ed...=10&qty=9&ds=n I took a walk through yesterday. (bbbrrrrrr!!!) The park is beautiful, with loads of paths through the woods, a lake, a bird sanctuary, picnic shelters, monuments, and lots of amenities, as well as a dog park with a separate area for small dogs. I think it would be lovely to bring a picnic lunch, meet up around 11, get comfortable, and let the day go by. There is also a cool Nature Museum, perfect for kiddos, so I would bring the family too! So let me know what you think of this plan!! Come ON, NC folk !!(AND anyone else who wants to come!) What do you say??

| Sounds good to me!! I like the 15th the best, only because that weekend I am off work!! If I know far enough in advance I could try to weasel my way out of working the 22nd though. Love the idea about having a place for the kiddies...my 5 year old will LOVE it. Looking forward to meeting everyone and putting a face with the name. Now let's get some more folks involved!!

| I hope you all have a wonderful time. NC is so preety and green!!! My husbands family is from NC. Uncle Roy is a Coach for the Tar Heels. We were there years ago on a family trip. I can't fly any more, really bad ears. If I want to keep my hearing, I have to drive back. But we plan on taking a trip back, maybe next year. I would love to meet at that park, it's a great one!!! Can't make this year, but if you go again next, hmmmmm Sounds like fun!!!

| Hooray! So sorry our far away friends can't make it, and am so pleased for the NC folks that are planning on coming!! To all of you who have said you want to come, please feel free to email or PM any other NC Yorkie folks you know and tell them about this. I think it would be great to have a ton of people there! So far April 15th looks like the day! Any other takers? Sign in, please! I know we have plenty of time, but I like getting excited about events in advance!! Come on, NC people! Let's MEET!

| I've been waiting for one in NC. It's only about 1hr. 15min. away so I'll be there. I know it's a yorkie meetup, but does anyone care if I bring Lucy's little brother Tank also? He a miniature Schnauzer and he'll be 4 months by then. Well I'll have to tell my husband I'm doing something different that day b/c he already thinks I'm nuts being on this website all the time.... If he knew I was meeting up with some of you he may try to commit me...LOLOL Crystal
