There's alot of Michigan members - that would be fun. I was there during the summer once - and LOVED it there - just a gorgeous state... but man - too cold in the winter for me

Vee - you are so right about Michigan. The summers are wonderful but boy the winters will knock it out of you.

This event is North of Ann Arbor so it is a beautiful area and what a fun event. Only wish I could go. I also love that it is a fund-raising event with experts on hand...MI Yorkie people Rock

well I had to look twice, your right, it does say 2007! Hmm maybe I can go after all lol

thanks so much for showing us that!! I live about 10 minutes from where the fair will be! This is the first I've heard about it. I'm pretty sure the 2007 date is correct. I think they might need that long to prepare and get vendors and get the word out, gosh I guess it could end up being pretty big. I'm so excited...I can't believe I have to wait a whole year!

Ya I was thinking the same thing. It must be because it says Saturday and Sunday hours. This year May 19 and 20th are Friday and Saturday. Maybe I can go too...I have a whole year to decide LOL

Lucky you - I sure hope you can go and take pictures for us next year. You are right it does take a long time to put an event on of this size. Getting hotel rooms, on vendors calendars, speakers etc. have to almost be booked a year in advance if you want a large event to go off correctly. You now have a year to either get a hula skirt or hawaiian shirt for your little dude.

Yep it's in 07 and it's going to be great! I can't wait to be able to meet others from different states and others from MI that I don't see at our meet ups.

I want to bump this up again because I so didn't realize this is in 2007. When I first saw this post I was really bummed because this is fairly close to me (about 45 minutes) and I wasn't available that weekend. So, now I'm planning for next year - YEAH!!!! It sounds like fun and I can't wait to meet some folks. Come on YT'ers - lets make it a weekend. I've got a spare room and we're a dog friendly home!!!!

This fair looks like great fun!
It's a ways but I would like to attend.
Wonder if they have a campground nearby as I have an rv and 4 dogs, kinda hard to stay in a motel. Wonder if poodles welcome as well as yorlies.
anyone know if other breeds welcome?

Yes on the poodles, all breeds are welcome. There are many campgrounds nearby, look up under camping, if you need help deciding which ones are closer, feel free to PM me, I know the areas pretty well, I know of a good campground also, middle class, not stuffy and not low life, if needed, I was always picky when the kids were younger. Maybe you don't have to worry about kids influences tho. Let me know if you need help bye

Patti,

Thank you for such a quick response. I willl look up camping near there, but if you will pm me with the nice camp you know of, that would be great. My kids are grown and gone, I have my sweet furkids though and am still kinda fussy.
I am so glad the curly kiids are welcome cuz its hard to leave any behind.
I am looking forward to the fair I think it will be great!
