Don't worry. You're all set. Yep, you're definitely all set. You were set as a guest from the moment we read "bringing the CUPCAKES"!!! I'll even make sure lay a napkin on the bench where you want to sit so you don't get dirty!mikkabear wrote:Wait, when you say rsvp'd do you mean on the evite site or the web site for the fest or on this thread?
We mean those who have not PM'd us their e-mail addys AND those who did to give us confirmation after mailing us their e-mail addys. We need - yes, no or maybe. It's a head count and woof-woof count we need.
Oh, and I found some boxed single-serve wine at Target today!

Re: Sunday, July 20th: NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CHOWFEST 2008
WOW! Look at all those chow chows! Looks like you had a great time, sorry to have missed it.... next year!
Thank you Elodie!
Re: Sunday, July 20th: NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CHOWFEST 2008
Great photos, Richard! I won't fault you for not identifying the Chows by name, there were oodles. I did a whole montage and called one Chow Zoey, and her name is Chloe! Hopefully some will step up and say who they are- though I did recognize a few! Hey Cindy, I thought it was illegal to smoke cigarettes anywhere in California (where there is air, so excepting Hollywood)...hehe.
Re: Sunday, July 20th: NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CHOWFEST 2008
Great pics. So many Chows all together at once! I too was wondering who everyone was. I have to ask what is up with all of the long sleeves? I guess it was chilly?

It was a very cool day for ChowFest this year in San Francisco. I think it was in the 60's most of the day - great Chow weather.
Here's the link to the pictures I took - please forgive me if I got any of the names wrong - just let me know & I'll correct it.
It looked like everyone had a great time. It was about a 2 hour drive back home for us - but Mr. N and Shiloh were snoozing within 10 minutes after getting on the road.

(Richard - thanks for posting all of those great pictures! Love the group shot - we had so many onlookers, didn't we?)

Re: Sunday, July 20th: NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CHOWFEST 2008
It was just a great day. Thanks to everyone who were there. Miss Leonora was sometimes not on her best behaviour, but we were lucky we had some very good training by very experienced people, thank you so much!. She is totally poohped after the event and suffering the concequences of too many treats today. She was ready to go for a walk as soon as I got up, it was like drop everything we've gotta go NOW! Even cut through neighbours yards to get to her usual "business spot" and became Miss Dirty Bumm. Had to tether her outside the front door and I had to run for a loo roll, wet paper towels and then wet wipes to finish the cleaning up. I think I'll fast her for now and add an extra dollop of yogurt for her tonight. It's all so worth it, tho. I'm no good with pictures, but I love seeing great shots other people took.
Thank you once again.
Leonora & mum

Thank you ChowFest 2008 Northern California Steering Committee Kingalls (Shiloh and Mr. N's Mom) LEO's mum (Leonora's Mum) SWANCIN (Kodi's Mom) Zhuyos Mom (Miss Pooh Bear's and Tigger's Mom) and all the other volunteers for a wonderful event.
We had a great time. Both Chase (my 6 year old son) and Stormy slept most of the way home. They were so exhausted from the days events.
Thanks again for a great day!!!
