A Few Pictures of Your Picnic, Angels! The Polar Bear Picnic Sunday, Jan. 27, 2008 Kingsport, TN

Praise The Boss! No rain, although the temperatures were a little more comfortable for polar bears than for humans!

Isabelle Bite Me from MI represented the Wheel Corgis well.

Amongst the former CorgiAid dogs in attendance were Bob Who Fell Off A Cliff (shown with his parents Jennifer and David) and McNair.

Members of the CorgiRescue List gathered for a solemn ceremony to bestow rescue's lowest honor on their listowners, Debbiemom and Milliemom. The Golden Spade Award was presented to them for their tireless efforts in rescue.  The beautiful golden spades also double as pooper scoopers.

The ever-handsome Darwyn, demonstrating the flying squirrel position, brought his humans Bill and Marilyn to the picnic.

As corgi balloons bobbed in the foreground, our president Vicki tried her first ever Moon Pah. (She could even pronounce it correctly!)

What does a film producer look like?  This is Angelo.  You couldn't ask for nicer guys and better sports than he and his crew were.  He even judged Best costume for us!

Costume contestants included Buzz and Hayley Boo and Maddie and Noelle Marie Doodlybug. The winner was Aine from IN dressed as a princess.

Rev. Linda Coffey blessed each dog.  She even did some long distance blessings for those unable to attend.  Here she prays for some of the animals whose pictures we had.

A good time was had by all!

People came and went all day long.  At the end of the day, the film crew gathered everybody for a group shot.  These are the hardy souls who had stuck with us to the end.
