| Atlanta Area Meet Up Starting this thread, I would be interested for sure. Someone mentioned a nice park in the Suwanee area.

| Sounds great! Wish we were closer, but depending upon the date we might be able to make it.

| Chattapoochie Park is in Duluth. I believe there are other dog parks in Norcross, Pickneyville Dog Park and Graves Dog Park.

| Timing for me would have to be later in the summer also. I am involved in a project that is sucking the life out of me right now. Does someone want to suggest a date. As far as location, I am open to anywhere. Sophie Kate is a great traveler.

| I'm good with suggesting Dates. Saturday August 9 Saturday September 13 or 20th Do we want like a yorkie and owner type social picnic that last a few hours? Or just like a yorkie play date for like an hour or two? I think the September date allows for more comfortable weather for both owners and the dogs but I'm open to hear what others think. Location: since everyone is mobile and willing to travel we have several options. I think once we figure out what kind of "event" we are having we can decide on location.

| I like the idea of September and also the socia/picnic idea. Sophie Kate does not like the heat at all, I am afraid if we do it in the middle of Summer all she will do is lay down and pant.

| Hotel/motel information would be great incase some will need to stay overnight and don't know the area.

| I help with Hotel information for sure. Once we decide on a date and location we need to make sure people in the region know about it.

| Some Details Ok so of the ATL area dog parks I think the Pinckneyville Park in Norcross would possibly be the best fit. There is a small dog area with agility equipment but access to a Pavillion directly across the walk way for a picnic. There is a fee to reserve the Pavillion or we can do a smaller sitting area with tables and chairs for us which is also near by. We can do potluck style picnic so yorkie moms and dads can bring goodies. I can create a sign up for this as well so we don't duplicate anything. I also think we should start getting a head count of how many we are expecting so we know if we will need the pavillion or not. September 20th, 2014. Time 10-2 I think should cut it for a social and get to know. If you have children and will bringing them a long there are play grounds within eyesight of the dog park and picnic area.

| OK, I'm gonna resurrect this thread. Sept 20 works for me, and either Duluth or Norcross or even Suwanee is ok-less than 2 hours to any of them for me. North of Atlanta is much easier for me to get to than anything below the perimeter. This gives me plenty of advance notice so I can schedule the day off & I have penciled it in. Whaddya say? Still on? I will be thrilled to meet everyone in person, especially since so many of us live so close!

We've decided that it will be Sep 20 at the Pinkneyville Dog Park in Norcross. As far as reserving a Pavillion we can do that, but there's a $35 fee . Or we just wing it and hope theres space near at the pavillion that sits across from the dog park. That's totally up to the group but if we are going to reserve I can call and make that reservation. Can someone take over the hotel sheet/directions info? Light Snacks,Water,etc. We can do a sign up sheet so no one brings duplicate items. We'll also need a head count which we will do closer to the timing of the even (say August).

| I can work on the reservations at a hotel near by, not a problem. What I need is some ideas on what a good room rate would be for those traveling in from out out of town. Also if we can get email address I could send out a Sign Up Genius, that would allow us to RSVP and decide on the snacks. Sophie Kate is excited, she is tired of playing with just Shih Tzu and wants to see some fellow Yorkies.

I'm ok with both reservation and no reservation. I guess someone who frequents that park and knows the number of folks who use it would be the best qualified to make that decision.
