Becky, Rachael, Nancy and anyone going to the Milwaukee pug fest

Are you all going to the pizza party Sat Night?

As of right now I'm not planning on it, but I think Karen said she was going to be taking RSVP's up until the 7th, so who knows. Sounds like there's going to be quite the group there.
What are your plans, Donna?

I'm not planning on going because I won't be staying at the hotel on Saturday night. I'm just planning to drive down on Sunday for the day (about a 2 hour drive for me). Donna, if you need a ride from the hotel to the event, let me know.

I'm flying in Sat, so I will be there. Thanks for the ride offer Rachael if I can't get a ride from one of the Green Mountain folks I'll take you up on that. I'll PM all of you my cell #.

I'd love to go on the bus tour but I am not getting in till 2 that day.
Have fun adn I'll see ya at the pizza party.

I will be there. I am getting in on Friday. Will also be doing the pizza party.

My son and I will be at the pizza party. I do not think we will get there in time for the bus tour.

Just today I found the Facebook page for Milwaukee or Bust! I will have my pizza money off to Karen in the Monday mail.

We decided to stay at the hotel on Sunday night also. The drive back to the western edge of the Minneapolis/St Paul area made for a looooong day. Last year we got caught in a Sunday night traffic jam and held up for over an hour.

Elaine

With the week I have had I might stay Friday nite too! Lol

I'm not coming up until Sunday morning but some of the other NIPRA gals will be there.

Omg I don't way this dawned on me earlier but I can wear my NIPRA hoodie!

fyi folks . I am going FULL PUG. I am staying over there Friday night to Sunday!

Yahoooooo. Anyone coming in on Friday? I will be getting there late due to traffic. Aine will be wired for sound.

Also am I the only one bringing their puggy and staying over - if so - are you bringing a crate? I am deciding if I should bring her "regular crate" or her soft crate. Soft crate - easier to travel. Regular crate, much more happier puggy.

Also how much $$ should I bring - is there an ATM on site? I swear i may be blowing my budget before I even GET to the Pug Fest! lol. CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU ALL! Nan

I'll be getting in early Friday afternoon with the caravan of PRN Volunteers. We'll all be at the Pizza Party Saturday. Jerry will have our PRN table up with merchandise as well. Cleaned my vehicle this weekend for the trip. Really looking forward to it!!

I'm getting super excited. I'm not getting in till late afternoon on Sat, I'll see you all at the pizza party.

I know I meet you in Chicago, did she come to the party? my mind, is terrible lately!

Kate and I are getting in on Fri afternoon. We will be at the pizza party also on Sat night. Another of my volunteers is coming in on Sat afternoon.

Also some booths will take credit and others will take check or cash. So this way if you aren't as comfortable carrying as much cash you don't have too.

My son and I will be arriving in the middle of Saturday afternoon if all goes as planned. It is about a five hour drive for us. We are bringing Scott's three pugs. My senior pug would enjoy the Pugfest (he loves all people) but I would not enjoy having hime there. He is soooo slow in walking and gets hot and tired so easy. Plus having four pugs for two people would be waaaay to much.

Deanna, I am happy Kate will be with you once again. How long is the drive for you?

Elaine it is about a 6-6.5 hr drive depending on how many stops we have to make and how fast I am driving..LOL

Can't wait to see you!!!!

Yes! we did! Aine was there - most likely being shy. Martha didnt bring her babies... but she will *hopefully* be bringing PIXIE!!!!

Cant wait to see you all!!

Just packed Pixie's crate in the car...we will be starting out around 10-ish & hope to be there before noon

IT WAS SO FUN SEEING EVERYONE Oh MY PUG. Was it FUN!! Cant wait till next year!

Great time had by all. Waiting to board plane to head home. Can't wait to give puggies their presents.
