The Wheaten Meetin' is a yearly gathering held in the Kansas City, Missouri area for Wheaten and
Wheatable owners and anyone who loves the breed.
This year will be the 9th year of the Meetin'. Every year our presence in the parade gets bigger and
better.
IN 2008 & 2006 WE TOOK FIRST PRIZE AND EARNED $2000 FOR THE
RESCUE!!
We need your help to make 2009 a great year also. How? By attending the Meetin' of course!!
A tentative schedule for this years Meetin' is posted below.
Anyone with or without a Wheaten of their own is invited to attend. We usually have more rescue
dogs than we have people to walk them in the parade. What better way to learn about the breed and
people who are owned by them than attending the Meetin'?
WHEATEN MEETIN' PARADE WEAR
We have changed our "uniform" to a vest that will be a one time purchase and used every year. The
vests will come with the rescue logo embroidered on them. Each year we will create a new patch that
can be purchased and applied to your vest. The more years you have attended - the more patches
your vest will sport!
Note: Vests and patches must be picked up Friday evening in the Meetin' Hall - they will not be shipped to your home.
A block of room has been reserved for $59 per night at the Holiday Inn Sports Complex this is the
location where the Meetin' will be held. More information on the rooms can be found on the
registration form. Important: Rooms are on a first come, first served basis - book early to be sure and
get a room!
Advance registration for the Meetin' is required. If you would like to pay your registration fees using
PayPal and fax your registration form you can do so by clicking the PayPal Link:
