Please drop any $ you can into the Tip Jar to help pets at Rikki's Refuge Animal Sanctuary. Every penny helps! Thanks!

Nestled in the country in lovely Dodge County Wisconsin, near Beaver Dam, #Nipclub Wisconsin rests in a former pasture on @TheNascarKitty's Dairy Farm. Make sure to be there for our Dairy Celebration.

Join us for a great celebration of America's Dairyland and enjoy June Dairy Days in Wisconsin where we'll show you the finest dairy products and a lot of other Wisconsin specialties (besides Cheese and Dairy we're known for Beer, Brats, being the origin of both the HAMBURGER and the ICE CREAM SUNDAE). Perhaps you'd like to come as a Dairy Cow? or a Farmer? maybe as a wedge of cheese? or WEARING a CHEESEHEAD hat?. Whatever you'd like to be, @RealFakeGator and his specialists at #NipClub Outfitters is sure to be able to help you out. 

A word from @TheNascarKitty: I grew up as a feral cat at a feed mill in Wisconsin. Surrounding us were scenes like in the picture above. I spent a LOT of time playing, sleeping and hunting at these farms. The big holstein cows look scary, but most of them LOVE cats...we are like furry hot water bottles when we lay on them. And...of course..there's the MILK!! The farmers always left a big tray of that days fresh milk (with the cream still in it of course) out for the kitties.  Even though Daddy (who worked at the Feed Mill) eventually took me to a forever home indoors, I got to spend 7 years being pampered as Mill Cat with a nice bed and food indoors at night, and free run of the farms during the day. HEAVEN!! Or so I thought...cuz once I had a comfy indoor home, I never wanted to go outside again and I never did. So while I look back fondly on my feral past....I am LUCKY to have found a home. Help those homeless animals find homes if you can.

June is National Dairy Month in America, and it's a great time to thank the hard working men, women, and ANIMALS who make sure we have a never ending supply of food, clothing, textiles, fertilizer, etc. 

#NipClub Pawties DOWN on the FARM

@TheNascarKitty Hauling Primo NIP to #NipClub for the pawty.

In the Past milking cows was a tiresome chore, done 2 to 3 times a day and required a lot of manual work, even with a high tech milking system. NOW, many farms are going to automated robot milkers. The cow actually comes into the parlor on her own when she feels she'd like to be milked, gets a meal specifically mixed for her while being milked. Watch the video below to see the wave of the future in dairy farming. 

Milk, Cheese, Ice Cream, Butter, who doesn't love the great wholesome taste of real Dairy? 
Well, This week at #NipClub we are going to whisk you away to lovely Wisconsin! America's Dairyland, and the home of great pals @RealFakeGator, @MarioDaCat, @HankTheDoggy @4Catstrapski, and ME! (@TheNascarKitty) and a lot of other pals!! 

While we're all used to seeing farms dotting the landscape everywhere we go, we know many of you are far away from the nearest farm, so let us show off some of the pride of Wisconsin   and OF COURSE....we will make sure there is more than enough treats for you to enjoy the TASTE of WISCONSIN!

Do you want a special Avatar for the pawty? Perhaps dress as a farmer, or a farmers daughter? Maybe even as a cow or  driving a tractor? Whatever your imagination can dream up, the pals at #NipClub Outfitters can arrange. Just ask @RealFakeGator soon. They are busy. And don't forget, your own natural fur, feathers, or skin is always welcome at #NipClub.

Wisconsin's @RealFakeGator helps milk some cows.

@TheNascarKitty checks the pastures on one of his
favorite old tractors. Maybe he'll let you drive one!

Drive some antique tractors around. But don't be surprised if
while you're driving, @TheNascarKitty tricks you into doing
some field work or spreading manure. Farm work is hard
and any farmer is always glad to share the work.

@WinstonTabby had a few "drinks" then decided he'd like some milk...
Don't worry, there's an easier way...our Barktenders will serve it up
cold and fresh in a clean glass. 

Wisconsin's @MarioDaCat models his Green
Bay Packer Cheesehead, while getting some
fresh milk for specialty cocktails. 

Later that night, after enjoying several of his
"milk based Cocktails" @MarioDaCat dreamed
he was a cow. Don't worry, we didn't milk him.

#NipClub in a Nutshell. Come Pawty with us June 1, 2017

Please drop any $ you can into the Tip Jar to help pets at Rikki's Refuge Animal Sanctuary. Every penny helps! Thanks!

#NipClub is celebrating it's 7th Anniversary this month. Over 500 pawties, tens of thousands of dollars donated to well vetted animal charities, and many, many happy anipals forming lifelong friendships. At the end of June we'll have a huge anniversary pawty. Right now, we're busy planning for our annual Rennaisance Faire Pawty (Thursdays June 15th and 22nd and a 24 hour pawty on June 17th/18th). 

This week we will be open as usual, as Twitters foremost  Anipal Pawty Bar. Come have a drink, reminisce about the friendships and good times you have here, and make plans for the next 2 big pawties. 

HISTORY: 7 years ago, #NipClub founder @FlaCatLady (Mom of @KingTuttiFruiti) was having a rough day at work, and contacted friends @TheNascarKitty and @AutumnTheDoxie (who had just recently held a "funpawty" to see if the monthly "PawPawty" could be held on a simpler more frequent format) to say she needed a pawty, a simple mid-week release from stress. And #NipClub was born.

Along with @Kittehboi, @GeorgeTheDuck, @MarioDaCat, @BunnyJeanCook, @MaggieTKat, and a handful of others we put together a few pawties, and we grew and grew. It was decided to use our fun times to help support animal charities.

Founder @FlaCatLady handled Head DJ duties, @MarioDaCat became Head Barktender, and Founder @TheNascarKitty started our world famous blog. 

We added the most talented staffs for Barktending, DJing, PR, Quizzes and Prizes, we started "catering" events for other anipals special events, we hosted huge events like Anipal Academy Awards ceremonies, eventually we were asked to take over #PawPawty and #NipClub24Hour was started. 

But the heart and soul of #NipClub was, and remains to this day our weekly Thursday Night Pawty. 

How does it work? Today's #NipClub is run by Founder/Manager @TheNascarKitty along with his Co-Managers: @TinyPearlCat and @RealFakeGator.

They try to have a special theme at least several weeks a month, and spend a lot of time early each week  putting together a blogpost, helping with special graphics and avatars for pals, as well as making managerial decisions.

The finished blog is then passed on to our great PR staff (@Meow-Girls, @WinstsonTabby, and @MarioDaCat) who spread the word to our anipal friends, who, in turn, spread the word even further. 

Our Head Barktender (@GeorgeTheDuck) makes sure we are staffed with Barktenders, and our Head DJ  (position open, see job listing below) makes sure we have entertainment. 

Charities are vetted (they must be NON-Kill shelters, and strictly animal related medical/rescue charities) for authenticity and legality. 

On Thursday the pawty is placed in the capable paws/fins/feathers/hands or our talented DJ/Barktender staff who, along with our loyal customers,  make the magic happen.

Is #NipClub Free? YES!!! Absolutely. Everybody is welcome, even your humans. We remind patrons about our charities, and ask them to "tip" their barktenders and DJ's (100 percent of these tips go directly to our charities, we have NO adminstrative costs)  BUT these tips are totally anonymous. Not even our managers know who donates and who doesn't. If you can afford to donate, great. We appreciate it. If you can't, we want you to come and have the most fun you can. 

 Drinks and Noms

Tuna

We have an opening for a new HEAD DJ!!! Duties include: Setting up staff schedule for weekly and 24 hour pawties (@GeorgetheDuck can help you learn how to use our Google Spreadsheet). Helping DJs find replacements for vacations etc. 

If you are interested please DM @TheNascarKitty

We are also ALWAYS interested in new DJs, Barktenders, PR anipals, Sekurity Staff, Quiz/Prizemasters, Graphic Artists. We will help train if necessary. Please DM @TheNascarKitty, @TinyPearlCat or @RealFakeGator if interested and we'll get you in contact with unit managers for those jobs.
