The Japan Ferret Association has had an angora specialty ring at all of their shows (5 total). And they have quite a few entries since there are many Japanese angora ferret owners. The AFA is always open to new specialty rings. Our last show in Gettysburg introduced the Roan Specialty after being requested from our exhibitors. In order for an angora specialty ring to be offered at an AFA show, first it needs to sponsored and then there need to be more than 5 entries. The show packets for Holiday Ferret Expo 2001 (Dec 8) at the Frederick Fairgrounds in Frederick MD have been printed and will be going in the mail Monday. Our next show will be Ferret Expo 2002 (March 23)at the York Fairgrounds in York, PA. All those interested in an angora specialty ring at the York show please email me directly and we can go from there! Vickie AFA Director of Shows and Special Events PS If you are interested in a show packet for the Holiday show and have never exhibited at an AFA show before please let me know!
