Ring sponsors are very important to all Clubs and organizations that put shows on. Without their support they would not be able to hold them. So please show your support and help sponsor a ring. You may go to http://www.ferrethut.com/ring_sponsorship.htm and fill in the ring you wish to sponsor. You will have your business or personal name on the ribbons of the ring you sponsor. If you elect to make the ribbon in Memory of a ferret, you may also do so. We want all of you to be part of this show.
