The First Annual Pacific Northwest
Ratbone Rescues Reunion
and Rattie Lover's Rally!
This event is scheduled for October 16, 17 and 18, 2009.
It will be held at Champoeg Park near Portland, Oregon.
The Organized Festivities will take place
on Saturday, October 17th.
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!
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.
