Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls! It's time once again for the
Greatest Ferret Show on Earth, hosted by the Greater Chicago Ferret
Association and sponsored by Ferret Depot (www.ferretdepot.com)
Contributing Sponsors are: Ferret.com, the Ferret Den of Milwaukee,
Martin's Cages, and Casey's Hidden Pantry.
When: THIS WEEKEND!!! Saturday, October 10
Where: Lake Villa, IL
For 21 years, the show has given ferret owners a chance to talk about
and show their ferrets, while at the same time supporting one of the
oldest ferret shelters in the United States.
There's 3 championship rings: Kit, Early Alter, and Late Alter and 11
specialty rings: Albino, Blaze/Panda, Chocolate, Cinnamon/Champagne,
Mitts, Mutt, Sable, Seniors, Shelter, Silvers, Whites
And we have wickedly wonderful judges coming out to do the show:
Scarlett Gray-Saling, Diane Calhoun, and Chris Sayne.
And who can forget the fun events? We've got the kissing contest, tube
races, paper bag escape, and the much anticipated costume contest! The
Ferret Den of Milwaukee graciously sponsored these events.
Step right up and check out our vendors! (GCFA, Ferret Friends of
Pittsburgh, Karen's Ferret Rescue, FAIR, Donna Kalafut, Dawn Lindner,
Casey's Hidden Pantry, The Hidey Hole, Custom Critter Comforts, Happy
Critters, Mark Drugs, Ferradise, Kritter Koncepts, and Nature in
Stitches) We got food vendors, bedding vendors, clothing vendors, and
this year even a compounding pharmacist! We got deals! We got bargains!
Sweetest Day is next week! And the Holidays are just around the corner!
You like raffles? Well not only do we have arguably one of the best
raffles around (with close to 100 items), but we're adding a silent
auction this year as well. Many different items at all sorts of price
points! The action at the raffle and auction tables will be non-stop
and exciting. (Ask Board member Tony to do a jig for you - he'll do
anything for a sale and to help the fuzzies!) There will be things you
don't normally find: gift cards to Buffalo Wild Wings, Lawn Shadows,
Jewelry, Bedding, Enrichment packages, Cages, Ferret Food, Growlers
of beer, Japanese Ferret Pins, Wine tastings, an electric Dirt Devil
Broom, adopt a Black Footed Ferret! A personalized ferret stuffed
animal (similar to build-a-bear) and oh so much more!!!! You can't
miss it!
Step right up! Step right up!
And of course all this action makes you hungry. We are GRILLIN this
year! The food was donated by some very special GCFA members, and a few
of our manly men will be manning the flames. We got brats and burgers
and hot dogs! SAY IT LOUD: HOT DIGGITY DOG!
Oh, and did I forget to mention that 100% of the proceeds go to the
shelter, and the 90+ souls housed there at this time, not to mention
the hundreds in foster care? So come on out, support the shelter, and
have a GREAT time as well! There's a little something for everyone at
the Greatest Ferret Show on Earth! Check it out:
