This social event is a chance for local ferret owners to meet and greet (and help support your local shelter <g>). The event is organised by the Pennsylvania Ferret Rescue Association of Centre County and is open to all ferret owners. We will be having a potluck lunch - the shelter is providing burgers and hotdogs. If you would like to participate, please bring a potluck dish (to feed 10) and your drinks. We will be having a variety of fun matches to be held throughout the afternoon for trophies and ribbons. The shelter and our local club will have tables with all sorts of ferret related items. A great raffle of ferret goodies will be held (yes, even a Martin's Barn complete with a PFC barn set - matching hammock, cage liner & barn cover).
