HI Readers--
There seems to be some misunderstandings on the "Ferretstock " event with
regard to communication received here at Ferret Wise.
The event being hosted soon is one which is being run for Rocky's Ferret
Rescue in MD- - this IS IN NO WAY connected to the annual Ferretstock
events in NH hosted by Ferret Wise Shelter! But I am sure there will be
fun to be had--
Ferretstock III - A Celebration is progressing for the NH event Sept 7th.
We have many desserts already promised for the auction which will benefit
ADV testing / research. A prize for the creator of the confection which
brings the highest bid! George Messenger, DVM will be host auctioneer
for this event.
"Blessing of the ferrets/ animals" is scheduled at 12 noon under the
pavilion - games will commence at conclusion.
Rabies vaccinations will be available on site from 1-2 PM for those
ferrets who need boosters.
We are awaiting the new tee shirt designs on great colored shirts for
advance orders... and will post them on the website and issue notice when
they arrive!
The day is proving to be a unique one and one worth attending. We are
awaiting response from a former Woodstock artist ( musician) who has been
invited to serve as honorarium of the day! We will also offer CD's filled
with the wonderful music of the day for folks to take home- proceeds will
benefit the shelter fund.
CHANGES - There will be no walk event this year. INSTEAD the challenge
will be for folks to sign up and get pledges for the shelter with their
ferret's ( ferrets) photograph (3x5, 4x6, 5x7 formats only). DO you have
an adorable ferret or few that would be willing to raise money to help
shelter kids? This will allow ferrets who are unable to attend still
participate and compete for a grand prize as top fundraiser - a one of a
kind plaque and a parcel of ferret goodies!
Additionally there will be a cutest ferret photo contest with great prizes
for the winner! ( mail in entires allowed) and winners will be determined
by money placed in containers for designated photos- proceeds to benefit
the vaccination / ADV testing funds at Ferret Wise.
We have food vendors returning from last year ,Team Frank Racing - a
cycling team will provide various refreshments for vegetarian and non
vegetarian menus. ALL proceeds from food vendors support a local NH
charity ( non shelter).
We are accepting donations of new items / gift certificates - for raffle
items for this event (Woodstock memorabilia in good condition a plus!) -
and setting up the days fun events.
ALL ATTENDING FERRETS will be required to be in cages / carriers equipped
with litter box , food & water
NO COMMUNITY LITTERBOXES - FOOD BOWLS - WATER BOWLS will be allowed.
For more information- or to be added to the Ferretstock III notice list
please email [log in to unmask]
PS- we are still looking for a artist and face painting artists for this
event!
Alicia
for the many faces at Ferret Wise
