Picnic? Do explain for us nosy newbies It's the annual GRA picnic. It is held at the kennel on the date Karen mentioned. IIRC, it's from about 11:00am-3:00pm. We socialize, have a lunch of burgers/hotdogs, socialize, do some raffles, socialize, shop (there's always a handful of vendors on site), visit the kennel dogs and socialize some more.

And the RAFFLE! There's always a raffle with really, REALLY, greyt stuff to win.
But it's mostly for the socializing, always a really fun time.

For all the new forum members, if you want to see photos of 2012's picnic, go to Picture Gallery, page 15 .... there should be about 6 or 7 threads with photos re the picnic. It's really a lot of fun ... meeting the hounds and people that you "speak" to on the forum.

The date is posted on my calendar. As long as no other doctor can figure out something more to operate on on me, I will be there. ;D

I can hardly wait!!! My mother (78 years young) and I have been making beaded bracelets and Grey necklaces to sell (with Bills permission of course) with ALL net proceeds being donated to GRA. We do custom made as well. We can have your greys name put on at no extra cost. I'll post some pictures under the "general" info. for people to see. Come on June ... I love GRA picnics.

I've gone to the picnic every year since I adopted Troy, so that would be 6 years so far. Troy so loved the picnic and seeing Bill. It won't be the same without him I will be there with Ghost and a new friend for him I can't wait to buy new stuff. It's one of my favorite events of the year
