The entries are literally rolling in for AFA's Winter Nationals Ferret
Competition to be held on December 4, 2004 in Horticulture Hall at the
York Fairgrounds in York, PA.  If you are planning on entering your
ferrets, please don't delay since most rings do fill up early!  So don't
whine to me if you procrastinate and miss out.  You can't say I didn't
warn ya!
 
If you haven't heard of one of the country's largest ferret shows of the
year, you can find your entry form at
http://www.ferret.org/pdfs/showforms/2004winter.pdf and other information
at www.ferret.org .
 
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our most generous
sponsors for this show.  Without their continued support we would not be
able to do what we do for the ferrets!  The Ferret Store is our Title
Class Sponsor.  They will be in attendance at the show for your shopping
pleasure.  Eight In One Pet Products is our Specialty Class Sponsor.
They will also be at the show with lot of great 8-in-1 ferret products.
Be sure to stop by their tables.  And Path Valley Farms is our Premier
Class Sponsor.  Derrick at PVF is sending lots of great items for our
raffle and for each exhibitor.  Look for PVF goodies in your check-in
packet!
 
Once again Jennifer Deming of Photos With Flair will be in attendance.
Jennifer is IMHO the best ferret photographer who does the show circuit
today!  If you haven't had your fuzz photographed by Jennifer, then this
is your golden opportunity!  Don't miss it!
 
It also looks like quite a few newbie ferret show goers and vendors, so
all you veteran show folks, please, please make the newbies feel welcome!
Remember, this is also the last show to do all your Christmas shopping
for your fuzz and other ferret fancier friends!  Our vendors come well
stocked with lots of cool stuff to make everyone happy!
 
This is the last show for AFA's 2004 show circuit, so it is also the last
opportunity for those ferrets in the running for ferret and companion
ferret of the year to rack up those vital show points.  And remember,
your ferret must have attended at least four (4) AFA sanctioned shows in
2004 to be eligible for the yearly awards.
 
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me directly at
jbferret @ mindspring.com.
 
Hope to see everyone on December 4 in York!
