Sheepiepalooza 2014
May 23rd - 25th (Memorial Day Weekend) St. Louis, MO The planning committee met yesterday to go over details.  The younger committee members were occasionally distracted....  and a little confused....  but eventually they got it all planned. Here are the details: Friday evening - Soulard dog park for playtime followed by dinner then a visit to Ted Drewes frozen custard Saturday - Sheepie Games, picnic and auction at Purina Farms during the day. And a special tribute in memory of Heart. Dinner and doggie snow cones in Kirkwood in the evening. Sunday - paddleboats in Forest Park, lunch at the Central West End and dinner on The Hill. Registration and order forms will be available in early March. A separate thread will be posted for the hotel. Plus a thread for the all new Sheepie Games.  Harry is looking forward to seeing everyone again. Bert and Willow can't wait for their first Sheepiepalooza.  |

| WHEW~~~~~ It was a tough afternoon for our three chairsheepies, but, they managed to hammer out most of the details AND had time left over for a little sheepieplay!!! 2 0 1 4 COME TO THE LOU FOR SOME SHEEPIEPLAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~   |
| It's on my calendar. Benson can't wait! |
With 3 teenagers, May is always busy.  So far, it looks like we may be able to make it. I hope it stays that way!  Can't wait to meet everyone in person! |
| I'M IN!!!!! |
| Such a organizing committee. I'm sure with the youngsters aboard, there were plenty of new ideas. |
  We will be there!!! |
 Looks like the planning committee worked hard on all the plans! I am sure they have all the details worked out!! |
| I was going to ask-today- when the announcement was going to be. I NEED something to look forward to. |
| Counting down the days!!! So looking forward to Sheepiepalooza!!!!!!!!! |
| Yay! We can't wait!!!! Cindy |
| Unbelievably CUTE committee!! The little guy peering over the top of his specs (just like my dad does when I'm in trouble!) is sooo melt-my-heart sweet. |
We'll be there.... if you can promise that the only snow will be at the Tropical Moose!!!!  |
| Work request going in soon. We haven't missed one yet, so I better have the dates off.  Love your committee photos.  |
| Fred and I will be there. Our first one!!! |
Leslie....I am so happy that you are coming the our 'little' event...  I am sure FRED and WILLIE will get along GREAT!!!!!! oh...and you will have so much fun you will want to move to the LOU!!!!! Everyone else??????~~~~~~~~~~~WHOO----HOO------- really am getting excited..... Nita??? Love the snow and moose line...... |
 |
| We are hoping the Fleury Sheepie Clan cam make it from Chattanooga. Many thanks for our TN Sheepie friends for letting us know about this event. |
| Love the pictures, sounds like a lot of fun. |
| I am sure hoping I can get there this year. A friend of mine who also has a sheepie, have talked about going. I have to check into the cost to rent a mini van (mine is old and no a/c) so we can transport the three dogs. Being that Oliver is older, (11?) I hope he would enjoy the event. Also need prices for hotel. Nancy |

And it's normal to have a full spectrum of ages with the dogs - from wild and crazy, to sedate and mature.  |

And I should add the middle category - those that think they can still run around with the young ones, but pay for it the next day. That would be Chewie, now that he's almost 8! |
| Yay!!!! I am coming! I cannot drive that distance alone. Will look for someone to come with me. I would love to bring my bogey and Suzie. Suzie needs to meet everyone. Bogey still will not get into the car. Argggg Anyway if I cannot get someone to come with me, I will fly. Hey val I need more bread! Oh I love the committee. How adorable |

Well, I was planning on being there, but my plans just changed.  I hate missing the chance to meet everyone in person and getting all those sheepie kisses, but I'm excited for the reason we can't go. I found out yesterday that our oldest son, Zack, has been selected to attend Boy's State! I am super proud of him! |

Most people go to all the events. Judi, Val and helpers are super organizational people. You get a schedule, maps, direction, GPS...all that event by event, for the entire time. Usually a packet is waiting when we check into the Pear Tree. Also they make lists of stuff to bring - suggestions. Like chairs, crates, water, money, etc. |

But sure am thankful the event is in St. Louis that's for sure. |
| We really want to attend this year, but Mattie is getting old, cranky, and tired. I hate to leave her, but am considering leaving both and flying out. That way I can really get to know everyone else's Sheepies. |
| Lisa, we would miss seeing Mattie and Frankie, but would still love to see you again. I know of at least one person who has more Sheepdogs than she can handle and could always use an extra hand. |
