It's finally time! If you missed out on Sydney, take in the Ferret Olympics in Grand Prairie, Texas (Dallas/Fort Worth), this Saturday, October 21! Doors open at 2:00pm, but those who have already pre-registered will be able to get checked in and take an early peek at our vendor offerings starting at 1:00pm. If you forgot to register your ferrets for the events and still want them to participate, we will be taking at-the-door entries, despite what our online entry form says, if you arrive early enough to make the events. Prices are a bit higher for door entries, details on pricing for the selection of 13 events are online at http://www.texasferret.org/olympics/O2K.htm. We are also offering a selection of merchandise from a variety of vendors this year. We will have snugglies, stationary, scratch art, heavy duty 20 foot dryer hoses, quilted ferret art and accessories, glassware, hammocks and sleepsacks, and a cage maker along with calendars and products from The Ferret Company, and more. There will also be several items for raffle. This is a fun event to attend even if you aren't bringing ferrets! Also, for those who missed the opportunity to participate in the free ADV testing, we will have United CEP test kits that you can pick up along with vet instruction on how to perform the test so that you can test your ferrets at home. We look forward to seeing everyone at the show! Webmaster, Ferret Lovers' Club of Texas P.S.-- If you live in D/FW and can get hold of a copy of the Arlington or early Fort Worth editions of the Sunday paper, look for an article featuring the upcoming Ferret Olympics in the Arlington Hometown Star or Texas sections! I didn't find the articles through their website, but did see the paper version. [Posted in FML issue 3208]
