Special Activities

Winter Romp

The Winter Romp is held once a year at a forest preserve in the Chicago area.  There the members of NEINEA and their Elkhounds get together to celebrate the club's birthday.  Sometimes activities are planned for both the people and dogs, and sometimes everyone just  enjoys a long walk in the woods followed by a cookout.

Norway Day Parade

For many years our club has participated in the Norway Day Parade commemorating Norway's Constitution Day (May 17). This event is held annually in Park Ridge, Illinois on the third Sunday in May.  Many members and their Elkhounds participate.

Meander in the Marsh.

The fall meander is usually held on the second Saturday in November at Cuba Marsh in Lake Zurich, Illinois. A long walk on the trails beside the marsh with the dogs in the cool autumn air is just the thing to invigorate our hounds. A business meeting and Pot Luck lunch usually follows the walk.

Christmas Party

The NEINEA Christmas Party is held in December at a restaurant or member's home.  Our "Pollyanna Grab Bag" has become one of the highlights of the evening.  Gift thievery is legal, and that's when the fun begins.  The Christmas Party is one of our biggest social events of the year, and even famous people such as "Father Time", "Santa Lucia", and "Yenta Claus" have been known to attend.
