The Third Annual Pacific Northwest
Ratbone Rescues Reunion
and Rattie Lover's Rally!
This event is scheduled for October 7 and 8, 2011.
It will be held at Champoeg Park
near Portland, Oregon.
The Organized Festivities will take place
on Saturday, June 8th.
Please consider this an Open Invitation to Join our Foster Families and our Adopters and Friends
- and our Ratties, of course -
for a Weekend of Fun, Games, Good Food
and Friendship!
And what will All this Fun cost? Just an Item for our Raffle! That's right - Just Donate Any New Item - for Dogs or for Humans - and You're In!
For more information on the Park (and an interactive map for directions) please use this link.
Accomodations for Camping and Hotels will be available, and the Truly Adventurous can book
a night in a YURT!
(sadly, no dogs are allowed in the Yurts)
Camping Sites at Champoeg are available in the RV Loop Area, where Ratbone Rescues will have a Home Base RV. Tent sites are free, but we are limited to Six near the RVs. We can have 10 RVs in the RV Loop, so bring your RV if you have one.
Past years' Gatherings were a Great Success. Here's a link to Photos of Some of these Events.
