To start getting excited about this year's GRA picnic? We LOVE this picnic, and we always have such a good time, seeing old friends and making new ones.
If I'm correct, it will be the 2nd Saturday in June, which would be June 9. Much fun to be had, and usually Bill has a full complement of hounds in the barn, just waiting to be walked, and then adopted!
I will start the ball rolling by saying we will be attending - if I'm vending likely no dogs with me, well, maybe just Bill's favorite girlie.

i was just wondering when it was going to be! We are hoping to make it again this year...it was so much fun last year! And we will be judiciously avoiding the barn, since we tend to come home with a hound everytime we go there...lol! especially dangerous now since Merlin's sister Mirage is there...eek! Someone please adopt this girlie before we get there!!!!!! lmao!

When can we expect some information regarding the day's events. My wife and I are new to the Forum, therefore we have no idea what is planned.

The picnic info probably won't be announced for a bit but as Campgreyhound mentioned it is usually the 2nd Saturday of June. It is always held at the GRA kennels, there are vendors on site, usually an awesome auction, treats for the hounds, etc. And of course, you can visit the kennel and walk a hound. This event is a fantastic way to meet in person all the people and hounds you talk to on the forum, a lovely social event. So keep that date open or around that date as you now know that's when the picnic takes place. Hope this helps. And lotsoffreetime .... how can you NOT bring Merlin's sister Mirage home. She just might be a carbon copy of Merlin .... could you imagine two of them? What fun!!!!

Thanks for posting and getting eveyrone thinking about the picnic Karen. We're very excited that our girl Tarra might get to meet her daughter Teegra at this year's picnic. Can't wait for more information! Not sure who is organzing it but if there is a silent auction I'd be happy to make a donation of a greyhound-themed stained glass www.smashingglassdesign.com/Welcome.html

I really wanted to go this year but my due date is June 8. Maybe the baby will co-operate with us and wait until after the picnic, or even better, a few weeks before (One can hope ha-ha)

If my husband is off that day we will be there for sure. Wrangling a 19 month old and two greyhounds wouldn't be easy on my own. Lol

Is the date confirmed yet? I don't need any other information other than a firm date. I'm rapidly running out of time to make arrangements to attend...
