Newf get together at Put-In-Bay

There is a Newf get together on Saturday, June 29th at Put-In-Bay island (Lake Erie) located north of Sandusky, Ohio. Details are just forming now...
Newf Neighborhood goes to the Islands (Put-in-Bay, Kelley) with our newfs for the day. Hence... WE LET THE DOGS OUT!
The most awesome experience is having all these newfs swagger off the Goodtime Boat and hear the applause, cheers, and singing of (guess what) "Who Let the Dogs Out".
I find pet-friendly hotels either on the island or on the mainland (Sandusky, OH) and also arrange for dinner/cocktails at a pet-friendly restaurant. Our newfies are always welcome because we keep them ON LEAD at all times and pick up after them. I even arrange for a vet to be on hand (just in case). People are automatically attracted to these big balls of fur. At the Boardwalk (who serves the best Lobster Bisque) the bartenders bring us huge 2' bowls with ice water for our newfies. Live music abounds, we rent golf carts and the looks we get from people with our newfies riding in them is just incredible!! Go for a swim in the lake, take a nap in the shaded park, or shake your bootie. Last time people came from MI, IL, MO, PA, NY, KY and someone even flew in.


... courtesy golf cart transportation to a soft, sandy private beach, outdoor showers for the dogs, dinner & cocktails on the deck with our newfs at... Black Bear Saloon with live entertainment. More to come!!! PS... We'll be staying right on the lake!!

Anyone interested can goto Newf Neighborhood facebbook and do a friend request. Once accepted, you'll have access to the additional information. This is what I did to join up with them for the Cleveland St. Patrick's Day Parade. What a great group of Newfs and owners and they're putting the invite out to us.

Yup - this really is a fantastic group of people. I mean, to get the parade Carl, Elvis, and I drove up to a hotel, met strangers, and willingly got into a car with them just because they were newf people! Now, those people happened to be Chumley's family, but still. Where else can to meet internet strangers and hop in car with them without worrying?!? Once we got to the parade we met the other group members left and right and everyone was so sweet, knowledgeable, and fun to be around.

I don't know if we'll be able to attend (we'll be getting back from the Bahamas just a few days earlier) but it sounds like it's going to be a blast.

How sweet...Elvis is going to the Bahamas. We understand how Newfs need a few days to recover from these excursions so he's excused. What!? He's not going! Mean owners!
Anyhow, I do wish I could see him again. He's so well behaved and need I say it...calm. He gives Newfs a good name.
I'll be going by myself, but don't feel sorry for me. With all those Newfs around, I won't be lonely.

That's great. I'll search for you there. The more the merrier! I'm hoping there are so many responses the ferry will have to make 2 trips to get all the Newfs onto the island.

I called at the same time and it said I had to wait for business hours. You must have done it online? Ah well, will call now....

I just saw Gina's update that so far there are already 20 newfs going!

I didn't realize the ferry ride was so long. There's just no way I could do that to Elvis since he's never even been on a boat before.........plus my husband and I almost got divorced on day 3 of our honeymoon due to a ferry incident so he won't really let me ride them anymore.......:shuffle:

Actually, I just realized dinner and the hotel were back on land, not on the island! We may drive up for dinner and to stay the night. I can't really pass up the opportunity to get Elvis together with 20 other newfs!!

Oh, you totally need to come! It sounds like it's going to be awesome. I'm not sure there is a deadline - maybe just once the rooms all book up? Search for "Newf Neighborhood" on facebook. It has all the details!

If you do come I'll bring a cake ;)

I had to call the front desk to reserve my room I couldn't get the promo code to work online and the 800 number wasn't working for me. The man working the front desk said he had been manually reserving rooms for us yesterday bc the code wasn't online yet or something.

When I called I just said I was with the "group of people and newfoundland dogs" and they knew exactly what I was talking about. My husband isn't that excited (he's a stick in the mud sometimes) but I'll totally pile Elvis in the car and come up alone for the night........with cake, of course!

Alone???? Won't Chumley be going? I just read about this on FB. Sounds great. Once I get on the group and see all the info we hope to sign up.
Oh Emily...I do hope you, Clifford, and Kim can come. Just hop a boat and travel south west on Lake Ontario until you hit Lake Erie and just travel some more south west to Put-In-Bay. Just goto Newf Neighborhood and do a friend request. Once accepted, you should be able to see all the info.
When I said "alone" I meant just me and Chumley. Things quickly changed and I'll have my 14 yr. old son and my 15 yr. old niece (Kathy's daughter) with me. I need the extra arms for helping with Chumley. Please, do go sign up, and I hope I get to see your gang.

Jessica...you and Millie just must come. I don't believe there is a deadline, but Gina does ask you to fill out a RSVP online form to get a head count. I made my reservations today and they mentioned a 72 hour cancellation policy. All the rooms are blocked together. I believe she said there are plenty of rooms and they're all on the 1st floor.
