2008 YT MEETUP Update! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

marcerella02 · 05-24-2007, 01:41 PM

Well after much thought, discussion and researching, we have decided on a city and state... and we hope that it makes as many people happy as possible. For the very first YT meetup we thought the best idea would be to just have one. If all goes well the following year, the meet up will be split into and East and West meetup so that everyone can at least attend one.

so without further ado (sp??) our city for the Summer of 2008 IS....

Kansas City, Kansas!!!! (i've never been... very excited to go!!)

Kansas is right smack dab in the middle of the USA and we hope that it means many MANY YorkieTalker's can attend. It would be great if you could reply to this post with a "Probably no" or "probably yes" to attending. While we realize it is very far in advance to know how your life will be in a year's time, we'd ask that you take a guess

I know i can say, probably yes, at the moment, but who knows what will happen in the next 12 months. This way, the committee can work on finding a venue that will accomodate our numbers. no need to get a huge building if huge numbers aren't coming, and the same goes for the other way, we don't all want to be crowded into one small place! Also in the coming weeks we'll be putting out calls to possible vendors, and asking your opinions on other VERY important things

That being said... start saving those pennies!! Kansas City HERE WE COME!!!

Probably.....Maybe

That's a 16 hour drive for us. Which means two days there and two days back...that's a LOT of vacation time spent driving (and I'm not sure I want to fly with two dogs

) My days of driving 16 hours straight through are LOOONG gone.

But, it's only 16 hours, it IS doable. Alot will depend on how much vacation time dh has, whether or not I've found a teaching job (summer's off) etc.,

If it's at all possible, we'll be there!

Good for you though, I really hope this comes to pass!!!!

YAY!! I am in the process of planning our vacation for the summer of '08, so you can put me on the list as a 'probably so'. I've never been to Kansas either, so it'll be a new experience for hubby and I!

When looking at nightly accomodations, please consider camp sites for RV's. Much easier than finding a hotel for my 5 babies.... There may be other RV'ers too.

Gingergirlsmom · 05-24-2007, 01:52 PM

Will the event be a one day thing???

JCarlson2004 · 05-24-2007, 01:54 PM

Sounds good. I'm going to say probaby yes.

*sophie's mama* · 05-24-2007, 01:59 PM

Probably yes!

Patti · 05-24-2007, 02:02 PM

Probably yes

Anna Banana · 05-24-2007, 02:04 PM

I don't even know how far away Kansas City is from LA...but probably yes!!!
I am so excited! And I only have one baby, so it won't be too much of a hassle to fly...

yorkiegirl83 · 05-24-2007, 02:05 PM

Probably not

Unfortunately it's about 15 hours from me and that's a lot of driving time w/4 fur babies. Maybe something in the future will change and I'll be able to make it *fingers crossed*

red98vett · 05-24-2007, 02:09 PM

Jenn218 · 05-24-2007, 02:16 PM
