What are people's thoughts on events like this?

I'd go but without my dog. I just don't trust too many dogs in one area. Dogs may be fine but owners aren't always attentive enough. There's a thread in health about a dog that got bitten when there was a real bottle up of folks.

Looks like fun. I"d like to go but alone.

I see you have a Haus Juris dog.....my dog's mom is a Haus Juris dog - fabulous temperament!!

Actually, this is a very safe place to take your dog(s). Lauren's place is HUGE, very securely fenced and most of the folks who attend this get together are her regular clients (who have all been temp tested and must provide proof of vaccines) and some of the volunteers from VGSR and their dogs. Contrary to many dog park situations, these folks are VERY much interacting with their dogs and on alert for any possible problems. There is also a monitor there who will give you the boot out if a dog gets out of line!
