I think we should plan fairly big and book a hotel and a ballroom where we could have the vendors come and sell their stuff and pay a small fee to do it. We could have contests like best dressed, cutest, coutest couple, oldest yorkie, smallest yorkie, biggest yorkie...i don't know....a big dress up dinner Saturday night like Fur ball and we could charge a small fee for attendees to go toward the expenses.

We could have speakers from our membership like the Biewer owners, the breeders, the groomers, the show people, etc. I could talk on service dogs. I just am thinking a big weekend!!!!

Am I being too out there with this? We have over 200 regulars and we are all addicts so who would come???

I like SoCal's idea of thinking big and starting early with the planning. As long as no one commits to any major expense hosting it, the worst that can happen is only a few people will go and have a great vacation. My main problem will be getting the time off, so location isn't a huge consideration.

I like the idea of a Texas or a Washington or some other location with a lot of YT members already there, making the chances of a large meet better.
