| Wheaten Meetin' 2012 March 8-11, 2012 |
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. 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
Our "uniform" is a vest that will be a one time purchase and used every year. The vests come with
the rescue logo embroidered on them. Each year we 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! In
addition please wear black pants and a black shirt under your vests and preferably black shoes.
HOTEL ROOMS
A block of 25 rooms has been reserved at the Holiday Inn Coco Key. The hotel also boasts a
convenience store, Pizza Hut and A&W Rootbeer on site, a huge arcade and an indoor waterpark!
Important: Rooms are on a first come, first served basis. We are only guaranteed 25 rooms at the
special rate of $75 per night - after that it will be offered on a availability basis. Call Cassi Connors at
816.737.4774 during normal business days and hours to book your rooms. As this is often the same
weekend as the Big 12 Basketball Tournament rooms may fill up - book early to be sure and get a
room! ROOMS MUST BE BOOKED BY FEBRUARY 20TH TO GET SPECIAL RATE - IF YOU BOOK
AFTER THAT YOU WILL PAY FULL PRICE!
