Anyone in Indiana want to have a MeetUp - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Yorkie3 · 03-30-2006, 09:38 AM

To keep it simple, why not everyone bring their own utensils, plates, chairs, xpens etc. If all of us pretty much take care of our own needs, it will be less work for someone else. I plan on bringing a side dish, salad and desert. What about bringing our own meat too? Like something simple hamburgers/pork burgers and hotdogs.

yougetthesmiles · 03-30-2006, 09:45 AM

I'm going to start a new thread telling all we have a date set, and what to bring.. etc...

Tashasmom · 03-30-2006, 10:54 AM

I'm going to try to make it but not sure..we are moving to missouri june 1st so i'm going to be so busy..that and it also will depend on how brody is doing. But it sounds like so much fun. I will try to give you a defenite sometime soon ok. I am glad of one thing..that you sat the date closer to summer..the warmer it is the better it will be for brody..

DENISE517 · 03-30-2006, 11:05 AM

I was thinking everyone bring one side dish, one dessert, and own drinks. I will buy hamburger, hotdogs, and buns. Maybe have a few of the hubbys at the grilles and have a table to put all food on. Then maybe each family could donate $3-5 for meat at the cookout if possible. I think it would be easier for one person to get the meat. As far as plates, etc. I guess we could bring our own. Maybe a few people could pick on some just in case??? Whatever everyones wants. Lets just try to make it as easy as possible. Then we will pass around a notebook there for all to sign, address, phone, etc for next year. Once we do it this year, we will know a little more what to expect. She told me each shelter should be able to seat 80 people. so there should be plenty of tables. So far I only have 5 people coming for sure. Hopefully we can get more. What ever the turn out is I'm sure we will have fun. I also have two children age 12 and 20 month and a hubby who will be attending ( oh, and of course Parker) We can get into the shelter at 9:30 and really stay as long as we want...

I wanna come. I just have to convince my hubby. I think it would be fun just to spend the day in a beautiful park and go hiking. I don't cook so maybe it would be best if I brought the drinks. I can get a couple of 2 liters and make some iced tea or Lemonade.

Tashasmom · 03-30-2006, 11:18 AM

I hope i can come..i love planning stuff like this..i'm the one that always does the easter cook out and hides the eggs..i do the 4th of july cook out and all the planning..sothis is right up my alley..i'll give some ideas though whether I can come or not..
You could plan to play some games..
egg toss
balloon toss
volleyball
horseshoes (guys love that)
apple bobbin for the kids (they can win a prize)
yorkie that can do most tricks
yorkie that does the least tricks
a prize for the person that brings the most people
smallest yorkie
biggest yorkie
shave the balloon..two people pair up and u put shaving cream on a balloon ..one holds it in their mouth whle the other shaves it..whoever can shave the balloon without busting it wins..
those are just some ideas..if i think of anymore i'll let you know..i know playing games helps relax people and gets things going..
oh i thought of more
cant think of what it's called but you tie one of your leg to another persons leg and you race to the finiish line..
just some ideas..hoped you liked some of them..
oh if i do get to come..i'll take care of some of the goodies..i love to bake and make lol

yougetthesmiles · 03-30-2006, 05:57 PM

I hope you can come Christy! I would love to meet you!
I told my hubby about it today and he said "May 6th"?? I forgot we had plans for that weekend, so I may be coming with just the kids and me! Lord I don't know if I can drive 2 1/2 hours to INDY alone!!!!
So I hope he changes his mind and comes with me! I'm so looking forward to this and so are the kids! ohh and Kloey! hehehe

Tashasmom · 03-30-2006, 06:01 PM

I want to meet you too missy..I told my husband and he said "oh goodie" being the smarta$$ he is lol..But if we can we are going to come.

DENISE517 · 03-31-2006, 09:02 AM

Things are starting to come in. so far 10-11 families. !!!! Keep spreading the news!!!!

Yorkie3 · 03-31-2006, 09:07 AM

Are the ones getting back to you from YT or from somewhere else? It would be nice to know so we can reach others next year if we have one.

DENISE517 · 03-31-2006, 10:35 AM

five from yt and 5 from dogster.com I got all there info. Also we will pass around a notebook at the meetup and have everyone sign it, address, phone, and email so we can use it next year.

yougetthesmiles · 03-31-2006, 06:55 PM

Denise, This seems to be coming along really well!
I came home the otherday and told my hubby about it and to my surprise "we" had already made plans, guess I forgot what day the plans was for, but I'm going to try my best to make it, I may be driving alone with the kids unless I can find someone who is coming my way, maybe I can follow! I'm in Warsaw if anyone is going that way!

DENISE517 · 04-03-2006, 05:23 AM
