hidoey Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Happy new year everyone. Who plans to go to GIG? I booked a room at the Eisenhower this year because Quality Inn Battlefield is sold out. Since we didn't make it last year (due to a sudden injury for Chimes - she couldn't travel), we couldn't reserve our 2019 room at checkout, as we usually do. Eisenhower is $109/night, no pet fee.

Aspire is so much nicer than Eisenhower. I wish they accepted hounds!

Robin1017 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I am so sad....I had hoped to manage to go this year.....but I will be having knee surgery and will still be in recovery at that time. No Gettysburg for me....it's been a couple of years. I can't wait to go back. Maybe next year.... Cathy & Calvin (DOB 9/18/13). Always missing my angel Robin (Abdo Bullard).

MP_the4pack Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 What is the reliance mine saloon? I'm probably not going to make it. I m arriving back from Europe that Friday. I doubt I'll be up for driving 3 1/2 hours Saturday morning. But if I have my new girl by then I'm going to need to do some serious shopping.

Reliance Mine Saloon is connected to the Quality Inn Battlefield. If you didn't know it was there, you'd miss the door - it looks like the entrance to a mine shaft. Cozy inside, though. Have fun in Europe, and congratulations on your new girl!

greytpups Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Lee, Lu-Ann, Gail, Jim, Lisa, Dave and I will be there this year. We need to meet up because we really miss Camp Cocktail. I agree with Tricia, keep calling the QI; they always have cancellations and sometimes people inform others on GT. Perhaps you may see some cancellation posts on this thread.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetcitywoman Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I'll be vending there again, but using my new business name (Sit. Stay safe!). I can't wait to show you guys the new safety gear we have in stock. I was leaning in that direction last year but didn't have very much stuff yet. Now I have full product lines of reflective jackets and leashes, rechargeable lighted jackets, collars and leashes, life jackets and of course the padded muzzles that everyone loves. Watch for Dave to be walking our ninja dog (Loki, all black greyhound) around the hall to show off how he can't be a ninja anymore. LOL!

dixidoll Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 If you are staying in the Eisenhower please be aware all dogs walking in the halls have to wear muzzles. Due to a mishap last year this is the new ruling. It is posted on FB GIG. Also dogs in the potty area must be muzzled. If you don't bring a muzzle everyone will be in a frenzy to buy one. I am not staying there, just posting to update info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
