We Went to a Corgi Picnic Meetup And It Was Pawesome

On August 18th, the annual NJ Frap Pack Corgi Picnic took place at Fords Park in Woodbridge, New Jersey. 111 corgis (plus their hoomanz) were in attendance this year, including some new puppy members that we all took turns petting and swooning over. The annual picnic is organized by Marc and Cynthia Dalangin, the founders of the Frap Pack corgi group, along with dozens of volunteers who donated their time to help out.

There was lots of food, fun, and a plethora of flufferbutts. Some corgis and their families traveled over 100 miles to attend the event! Picnic festivities included various contests like Longest Tail, Longest Ears, Best Costume, and Best Corgi Butt. Every year, there’s a raffle, featuring corgi-related items graciously donated by the corgi community and small businesses from all across the country. We were able to raise over $1500 for Bandits Bandaid, an assistance program that helps healthcare and emergencies for dogs. Go team!

Aaaand without further ado, onto the photos!

Here’s the official NJ Welsh Corgi Club tent where picnic goers signed in their pups and picked up their name tags.

No picnic would be complete without corgi socks. (Yes, Lulu is dressed up like a hot dog, very appropriate for the occasion)
