Hello!  The Heart of Ohio Ferret Association is holding a new fundraiser
for our rescues.  In my branch alone we have 36 rescues!  Many are
permanent residents because nobody wants older ferrets.  others are in
need of surgeries.  We have four adrenals that I know of, and one needing
neutered.  The adrenals though are our priority right now.  We are having
a costume photo contest for dressed up fuzzies.  We will have the
following categories:
 
Scariest Fert
Funniest Fuzzie
Best Dressed Furkid
 
There is one first place in each category, and two honorable mentions.
The three first place ones in turn will be eligible for best costume
overall.  The first prize will be a hand painted trophy of your ferret 's
picture.  The three 1st in category prizes will be a ribbon.  The
honorables just get mentioned <G>
