OHIO Corgi Picnic 2000

Ohio Corgi Picnic 2000

On Sunday, June 11th, the 3rd annual Ohio Corgi Picnic was held at the Marion County fairgrounds in central Ohio. While we all went mainly for the joy of corgi-lover fellowship, we are "busting at the seams proud" of the $564.00 raised for CorgiAid!! Way to go OHIO, MICHIGAN, and ILLINOIS!

Special thanks to Ellen Shuster who, with her BC, Junebug, gave us a wonderful explanation of agility, and then a demo run. Also, heartfelt thanks to Debbie of Traditions for donating one of her beautiful corgi tiles for the auction; and to Les and Kathy Jankiewics for donating two of their delightful Year 2000 395 Corgis-a-Year Calendars (these calendars make me look forward to October!). Also, corgi kisses to all you corgi-fanatics who donated auction items, and to all of you who bid and won! We couldn't have raised this money without your generosity! Remember, Shop CorgiAid.

Diana & Jerry Binder came all the way from Skokie, Illinois; and Jeanne Traylor came from Dearborn, Michigan (she also went home with the corgi tile from Traditions. Gee, Ohio, we couldn't even keep that in the state!).

Now, enjoy the pictures!
Sorry I didn't get photos of everyone ... next year I'll do better!

Corgi Hugs!


And who could resist this face! Classi, Carol Stein's little girl, she raised $45.00 on her own! Good Girl!	Hostesses: Leigh Powers who organized the silent auction, Carrie Hutchman who organized us all, and Joyce Siegley who was the driving force in getting things done! And Evelyn Hlabse, where are you! We couldn't have done it without your ecircles!


"Are you my momma?" No, Gwennie, your momma is Leigh Powers	Diana Binder ... is that Stoney or someone else's corgi? Someone else's! It's Bailey, she owns Tor & Krista Ravengael.	Carrie! Are you goosing Teddy through the Agility Course? This is a new AKC Agility Event ... the 2-dog agility run!

Junebug, Ellen Shuster's BC, who gave a wonderful Agility Demo.	Deb Chaney & Sculley ... our blue-eyed wonder	Levi had had enough ... he needed momma, Judy Younger

And who could forget the black-headed tri-fluff, Libby with Dad, Gary Younger	Joyce & Joe Siegley - two people, 4 corgis, no one looked at the camera!	"Why am I locked up in here and you're out there?" Poor Katie.

"Tunnels are fun ...	and so is jumping . . .	but I really like the chute! And Daddy didn't think I'd do it!"

Now these folks are real OSU fans! "Rah! OHIO!"	Pookie ... keeping an eye on Mom Carrie	Emma & Robbie, owners of Evelyn & Tim. "When is it our turn to run the course?"


Time to eat ... some pups were even up on the tables ... Teddy? Katie?	Dogzilla! So nice to finally meet you! You're looking svelte these days!

"So what do you think of this OHIO People Picnic 2000? Nice they can get out and romp, isn't it?"	These boys are anxiously awaiting their turn on the Agility Course

Meet Teddy Hutchman! "If there's food, I'll be your bestest buddy!"	Katie with Omar in hot pursuit! "Leave me alone, Omar, can't you see I'm playing with my tennis ball?!"

Heh, it's me and my husband and friend Judy. Pups ... Levi, Libby, and Katie. "Mom, who's that with your camera?"	Teddy & Pookie ... look at that concentration! "Mom, tell Teddy to hurry up, please!"

Merlyn ... the 9 week old baby! Omar, is that you again! "Listen here, kid, Katie's mine, so don't try any of that cute puppy stuff with her."	Carrie Hutchman, Sara Beis, and Jassie ... our 14 year old senior citizen.
