Bringing  your pigs?? 

If so, the area is a forest, so bring a blanket or towels to  put your pigs 
on so that they don't eat the leaves and have a comfy place to  nap. 
Unlike past years, it is decided for everyone to keep their cavies in a  
separate pens to avoid spreading disease and to prevent fighting. For this  
reason, please bring your own pen/cage as there will be no spare cages. The  "cubes" 
used for C&C cages make great temporary cages for this type of  environment. 
Contact us for more info on how to do this. 
Bring plenty of  water-rich veggies for your pigs. You may also need to bring 
a cavy water  bottle. 
Complimentary orchard grass hay and Oxbow pellets will be available  for your 
pigs to "snack", if desired. 
Bringing human companions??  

Friends and family are welcome! Bring as many people as you'd like!  
You may want to bring a lunch and snacks for yourself and your human buddies  
as food and drinks are NOT provided. 
Other pignic stuff: 

If you have  any cavy related items to sell, bring them along! You have an 
audience of cavy  lovers awaiting. 
MGPR will be selling some supplies such as bedding, hay,  etc., but "selling" 
isn't the purpose of this picnic, and it is NOT intended as  a fundraising 
event. The purpose of the pignic is pure "Cavy Fun"!
