Furry Picnic Plans

Hi all. After doing some preliminary planning, I'm finally going to set a
date for this proposed event that I have been thinking of for a while. What
I'm planning is a day long picnic at Starved Rock State Park, located off of
I-80 about 2 hours southwest of suburban Chicago. I'm planning this for May
24th, which is a Saturday. I was out there today and talked to the people in
charge, and they will not reserve picnic shelters, but told me rather to
arrive about 8AM and set up in a shelter to save it for the day. So that is
what I'm going to do, if I get enough replies to warrant me doing this. I
know several of you have expressed interest and I hope to see you show up
for a day of fun. I'll provide charcoal, grilling utensils, paper plates,
cups, ice and soda/drinks. What you want to bring is up to you, but I would
suggest burgers or hot dogs... or we can do things similarly to the LAFF
softball games and everyone chip in $5.00 and we'll do a grocery run. The
nearest grocery store is about 10 miles away though. So please, if anyone is
interested, reply either here on the list, or to my personal email,
butterscotchvixen@hotmail.com Or you could always call and leave me a
message. 815 883-8699 I'm usually home in the evenings after 4:30 PM I
think this will be a fun day. Lots of space out there, a neat visitors
center, lodge, gift shops, and tons of hiking trails. Plus there is the
Illinois river to fish in, though they don't allow swimming.

In regards to my previous post, I made a booboo. The Furry Picnic will be held on May 31st instead of the 24th, as the 24th is the weekend of Rocket City Fur Meet, in Huntsville, Alabama.
