  his/her paper bag will be declared the winner in this competition.

  will be arranged for your ferret to let loose. The ferret to tip
  over the most cups in 60 seconds is the winner.
- Matchbox Car Races: Matchbox cars will be arranged on a track, the
  ferret to push their car the furthest (with the help of a treat)
  down the track will win.
- Chariots of Fire: Ferrets will be pulled in their chariot to the
  finish line. Ferrets get to keep their chariot (aka box with string).

  get to keep (there is an additional charge for this game). The first
  ferret to completely exit their tube will be declared the champion of
  the tube race.

IMPORTANT: Please use your own discretion and common sense when
bringing your ferrets to any public event. Sick and/or elderly ferrets
should stay home. Please bring a leash or carrier for your fuzzy and
food/water. You may also bring a playpen for your ferret to relax in.
