The Midwest Ferret Fellowship is proud to announce the Midwest Ferret
Fellowship Faire to be held Saturday, October 21, 2006, at the Deltaplex
(Hillside Room) in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  This is the first time ever a
ferret show has been held on the West side of the state.  The Deltaplex
has been home to dog shows, cat shows and most recently the West Michigan
Pet Expo that garnered approximately 5,500 people.  Interestingly enough,
that day, a bird show is scheduled for the West River Room adjacent to
our show.
 
The mission of the MFF is to "educate and promote awareness of
domesticated ferrets as companion pets." Dedicated members are working
hard to make this event one that achieves our mission.  We're proud of
the camaraderie that exists within the Fellowship and we invite you to be
part of the experience.
 
We again have the honor of working with Michigan State University vet
students for judging.

infectious diseases for your ferret when they are brought out into
social gatherings, the Midwest Ferret Fellowship recommends that you
use precaution for your ferret with minimal handling and exposure of
your ferret and other animals at this event.
