Hi FMLer's The first Ferret Fiesta Specialty show, to be held at the Virginia State Fair on September 24, 2000, is still accepting show entries! We've been a little behind (okay, a big behind) in getting the show flyers out to people, but we will be accepting late entries! The State Fair put a due date of Sept. 1 on the flyer because they have to mail back the Fair passes and parking passes to the show attendees. If you haven't received a flyer, please let me know ASAP so we can get your show passes to you. I can be reached at 804-271-9591. Please leave a message if you don't get a live person!
