I will update this thread periodically to let you know who has registered. So far, we have 5 confirmed registrations for dinner and 0 without dinner...

1. Sukoshis Gma
2. Suzy
3. kathy785
4. scrapindee
5. LuvMySissy

Each of these 5 people have gotten 5 free raffle tickets for being amongst the first 15 people to register! Remember, there's still 10 spots left to get the free raffle tickets, so register soon!

Okay...another question

Did I see somewhere that a thread is being started for people who want to carpool, etc... or am I imagining things???

That was in the Southwest regional forum-I think!

Edit: is this what you were thinking of, or is there another one?

Here is the thread about finding a roommate: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=105762

You could also post in your regional forum to find people in your area to carpool with

I have not started a thread about people carpooling, but as others suggested, if you are interested in carpooling, I think you'd have the most luck posting it in your regional forum. I doubt anyone from my area would want to drive that far !

Yipee, I just sent in my registration fee with dinner...can't wait...especially to finally meet you all.

I can NOT believe that you have done ALL of this with moving and working and everything else that has been going on in your life! Whoa! You are soooo WONDERFUL!!!

I think that is a great idea!!! That way, it will be easier for the committee to have a count and for everyone going to see who all is going and maybe who can ride together or meet up to follow together, etc.

I'll have to start working on hubby! Good job putting this all together, Lisa! I've done it locally for an international group and I know how much work it is logistically! Hope I can go .

What a great birthday gift to yourself!!! And what a nice way to spend your birthday, if you can come, with all of your YT friends!!!!

If the 2008 Meet Up goes well perhaps 2009 could be on the east or west coast and 2010 on the opposite coast and then 2011 back in the midwest somewhere! That way every 3 years most everyone would have a chance to participate. Just something to think about.

I think at one time, it was said (in hopes) that we could get the Three Dog Bakery to be a vendor...so maybe, that will be a great option too!!!

And as a side note:
I think before (in the planning stages) it was recommended to have a carrier or stroller for the doggies too for the shopping. But I am not certain.

I know those flying in will not have room for a stroller and will already have a carrier, so that will work out.

I'll definitely be taking my stroller..and probably a carrier too just in case I need it. I remember when I bought the stroller I didn't know why in the world I was buying it or what I would actually use it for - but OMG it is the best thing in the world. It is so much easier to put your dog in the stroller than to carry it around in a bag all day..much easier on my shoulder LOL. I LOVE my stroller

And I will probably bring an x-pen too for the park. I loaned it to a friend like a year ago and haven't gotten it back but hopefully I can get it from her
