Wolf Fest 06?

The Howl On The Prowl?

Okay, so we do have a few interested. Before I proceed further, here are some options, and I want to see what real interest there may be.

First, I talked with the managing director out at Wolf Park, and she is willing to go along. Even though the park is closed right now (except for Howl Nights), we can do something one Saturday. We may also get drafted into doing work around the park, but you pays your money and you takes your chances. Whether we work or not, the fee (chosen by me, not the park) per person will be $10, which covers the tour, includes Howl Night that night, and a very small donation to the park. At least one staff member is willing to join in the fun, and we may be able to entice one or two more...

Second, unless we have ten or more show up, I will not try to block rooms at a hotel. I will be glad to recommend one near Wolf Park that offers a Wolf Park discount, or another nice hotel in Lafayette, but unless and until that will be it.

Third, if we really want to see the wolves at their most active, we should do this in February or very early March. So, which Saturday in February would work best for most people?

Fourth, for a quick dinner between the afternoon and the start of Howl Night, we have a couple of options. We could see if it might be possible to do hamburgers and brats out at Wolf Park, or we could go someplace to eat. What would you like to do?

Finally, I can also put in a reservation for post Howl Night at Lafayette Brewing. The food is good, the stout is great, and the rest of the brews are not bad. I don't think it will hold up to Fritz's, but it will do.

Okay, what say you?

I checked with TNT and she gave a squeal of delight.

Which means "yes" :-)

Okay, I checked with me, and with the exception of the second weekend, Feb is good to me.

Okay, obviously the ball and ch..er wife says yes. Looking at our calendar she says either the second or third weekend in february is good. We will probably have to bring Clone with... stupid no-weekend babysitter.

Okay, I seem to see a concensus forming for 18 February. Does that sound good?

The 18th is good for me. I can hardly wait!!!!

That might work... ;-)

Sounds great! I will be talking to my hubby. I'd say I've got 50/50 odds. :)

I'm w/VW & JLB, Wish I could go too. My son loves those wolves. Sigh!

I am actually considering it.

It's only a 4 hour drive, very familiar with the drive (unfortunatly) and maybe I can get work to pay for it if I visit our customer for them?

Hmmm... I'm going to have to ask work about that.

Unfortunately, that is the weekend of my cat club's annual show, and I'm schedule to work that entire weekend. Gah!!!!!! Wish I could be with you!
