so glad you're going to make it! i don't know the area at all - hopefully someone will be able to answer.

Google Maps says Intercourse is 45 min. to Reading.

We are lucky to be in some lovely country. People who travel to Reading, PA for Yorkie Day also should know about these:

Other fun activities in Berks County for Yorkie Day weekend:

All day Friday into the evening:
Green Dragon Farmer’s Market - Food and goods produced by the Amish in the beautiful, scenic Lancaster countryside. Walk with your dogs and sample the ice cream, baked goods and local produce and see the handcrafts. The Green Dragon

Sunday – Clover Hill and Calvaresi Wineries. Local award winning wineries a short drive from the Sheraton.

Sunday – Adamstown, PA Antiques capital of the US! Shupp’s Grove (where Lee and Leslie Keno from Antiques Road Show got their start) is where you can walk your Yorkie and see the antiques and collectibles in the shade of the huge old oak grove. Food and fun from 7 am. Also many indoor antiques shops and malls, such as the famous Renningers and Stoudt’s Black Angus all with in a very short distance.
Shupps Grove, the pickers market where real deals still happen

So you see, there is a lot more to do than just come and go... plan to stay over night and do some of these activities...

we're happy to have you all excited about Yorkie Day!

PS Intercourse is not fat but there are several campgrounds much closer. Maple Grove is one very close to Reading.

I will be working on Skipper's then I will do one for Murphy. I am just going to pick the color Red. I hope that is ok. Talk to you soon.

Thanks! They look easy to make, but I don't own a sewing machine. Everything I try sewing by hand falls apart. LOL

grayxie · 06-20-2008, 08:47 AM

Ok, so RED it is!

LilDiddyBear · 06-20-2008, 02:54 PM

I'll have to get a red bandana for Diddy! Can't wait to meet everyone!

MaxwellHouse · 06-21-2008, 11:30 AM

If I can't find a red bandana I'll just cut up an old red shirt in my husband's closet. hee

those are great. i have one - unfortunately, it's not red.

grayxie · 06-23-2008, 06:34 AM

You can just get a red bandana from Walmart for about a $1, in the accessories section.

We always spend July 4th in Edinboro, PA. This year, I'm making Gus an Uncle Sam costume for the 4th. Would it be silly to bring it for this?

4yorkiemom · 06-23-2008, 07:36 AM

definitely not silly! there is a costume contest and who wouldn't want to see Gus as Uncle Sam!

Would love to see a picture as Gus as Uncle Sam. I dressed up my first yorkie as Uncle Sam as my Christmas card after 9/11- Peace on Earth.
I'll post a picture when I have time to download it.

nancyfancypants · 06-23-2008, 09:21 AM

Great! I just thought that with the Mardi Gras theme, I should do something else for this, but Uncle Sam it is!

Diach, would love to see that pic!
