French Bulldog Jamboree Update
I finally have the website up for the French Bulldog Jamboree —
Excuse the clunky url, I was in a hurry.
We had to change the date by one weekend – seems I’d accidentally scheduled it for Canada’s version of Memorial Day Weekend (not a good idea).
So, the final dates are:
Friday, May 22cnd 2009 thru Sunday, May 24th, 2009
In case you didn’t get the earlier emails, the French Bulldog Jamboree is a weekend of fun, friends and Frenchies, open to all French Bulldog owners from around the world. It’s a casual, laid back chance to camp with your Frenchies (in ‘camping’ cottages), hang out with friends, and make s’more around a campfire. It’s like summer camp (but with dogs and a licensed bar!).
French Bulldog Jamboree takes place at Homestead Resort, in Ontario, Canada — it’s about two hours away from Toronto, same distance from Buffalo/Fort Erie, and about three hours from Sarnia/Port Huron.
Tentative scheduled events include:
* pet psychic readings
* St John’s Ambulance therapy evaluations (we’d still like a volunteer to to TDI evaluations)
* Discussions of obedience and Frenchies
* raffle
* BBQ
* Canine Good Citizen evaluation
* Fun match
* raw feeding discussion and seminar
… other stuff!
Homestead has a spa and golf course on site, so bring your Frenchie averse spouse along and we’ll find them something to do. Packages include a really phenomenal breakfast and dinner daily.
For more details, please visit the site, where you’ll find arrangements on booking your stay. Please note that we need a minimum of ten more bookings to proceed with reserving the entire resort for our event.
Can hardly wait!!!!!!!!! I have a friend who does original artwork on glass, I am going to try and get her to make something I can donate. Carol I’ll email you about it.
Count us in! We have never been to Canada before – we’re New Yorkers. And before June 1 – you don’t need a passport, just a license and birth certificate. So we are looking forward to it – thanks for making this happen.
I wish I could stay for the entire weekend. Unfortunately, Adam and I have a wedding to go to on the following weekend, and money is going to play a factor. Working in construction isn’t the best place to be right now and there have been tons of layoffs at my company – and then there’s all the money for the wedding as well.
Long story short (too late) my mom, dad and I will be bringing the girls up for the Saturday and enjoying the BBQ and all of that, if that’s acceptable. 🙂

Even though my “oversized frenchies” and I can’t make it up North, I’d happily donate a collar or two for your raffle.

Wow! that sounds like my idea of a perfect weekend. Sadly I don’t have a frenchie yet so I’ll have to catch the next one. Have fun everyone!
Non Frenchie owners are welcome, too!
How will you decide who shares the cabins since they are 2 or 3 bedrooms. Will you post a list of attendees so we may choose a roomie or will you decide?
Also is the BBQ in addition to the dinner provided by the inn?
Can’t wait for May.
That’s a good question.
I think I’ll get a lay out of the cabins, and as bookings come in, we’ll add who’s in each cabin. At that point, you can call the resort and swap. I will also suggest that anyone thinking of booking, and knowing who they want to stay with, should mention this when booking.
I’ll try to work on it tomorrow.
Like I said — it’s like summer camp!!
Oh, and the BBQ is scheduled for around lunch (which is the one meal of the day NOT included with the package).
We’d love to come: 4 kooky Frenchies and 2 people. If anyone wants to come but doesn’t have a Frenchy, we could all arrange to loan you one for the weekend! 🙂
Made my reservations – Dax and I will see you in may!
Hope’s last blog post..It’s getting personal – and creepy
