Unofficial Pre-Picnic Eat & Greet at Ninety-Nine Vernon Friday Night!

Hello again!  This is the same post as last year pretty much, but it’s just as important!

We know a few folks are arriving early, and after a day of chopping veggies, washing and checking equipment, and shopping, Dark & I will be heading out to eat.  We would love for you all to join us!

 

Friday Night, May 23th – Late Dinner at the 99 Restaurant

295 Hartford Turnpike  Vernon, CT 06066

Meeting outside at 8:30 pm – 8:45 pm, sitting down to eat at 9:00 pm

Casual Dress – *NO EARS, TAILS, FURSUITS, etc, INSIDE! … just be cool. :)

Open seating, but we will try to sit together. Show up late and it’s seating wherever.

 

That’s about it, it’s not the diner meet, so we won’t be hanging around, save the fursuiting and silliness for the picnic, but please join us for some eats and a beverage – no RSVP, again, just show early.

CT Diner Meet Feedback – Picnic almost here!

Yes, it’s only days away!  (Then again, it has only existed for no more than 2 weeks!)

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all the furs at the Town Line Diner that Dark & I got to see and meet if only for a moment, and give awesome glowy goodness too.  We hope that enjoyed the fun gift, and took a moment check out this site and come to Wickham Park for the picnic!

There’s just a few thing people were asking that I wanted to make sure were clear on,  so people would be able to come and have a great time, so here we go!

New Furry Event in CT! Furry Picnic 2013!

Hello furs!

How else can I say it – it’s been a while coming, but I’ve always wanted to do a furry event in Connecticut, and now it’s time!  From the early New England picnics of 2001, hosted by Skorzy and Dalia (Beerhorse!) to now, one of the most fun events to be had is coming back – furry picnics!  Join FrostElf and Darkcougar, 2 crazy fur-types that call New England their home!

Here’s the secret, make the picnic a one-day event, host it at a very nice park, get a lot of food, tell everyone to come, done!

Here’s the short of it:

Place

Wickham Park (http://www.wickhampark.com) @ the Wickham Pavilion

1329 Middle Turnpike W Manchester, CT 06040

Date & Time

Sunday, May 19th, 2013 from 10:30 am to 7:00 pm (Gates open and close 1 hour before and after the event)

Fees

$5.00 parking per car, $5.00 for food/swag/registration

Who Can Come

*Everyone who pre-registers, up to 200 people

(*Must have a valid federal, state, military, or government issued photo ID, including minors – such as drivers license, passport, or state ID card.  Birth certificates, credit cards, library cards, student ID, work ID, voter registration cards, and non-photo ID will not be accepted.  No exceptions, due to liability.)

Of course, there is more than that needed to making a picnic… details to follow.

Registration will be opening Saturday, April 20th!  Get ready!

This is going to be fun!
