Dear All, I would like to thank everyone for a great OKTOBERFEST at Rocky s Ferret Rescue and Shelter in Parkton, Maryland. Stan (the Sta in KISTA) brought his band from New Jersey and absolutely rocked the farm!! When they performed at OKTOBERFEST we called them "The Ferretones", but they are known as "3 Leg Dog". Our shelter is on a beautiful 130 acre farm. We had a great caterer providing treats from the grill. We had people from about 4 states attend. A lot of people camped out on my farm and we sat around a bonfire with Stan on acoustic guitar till the wee hours. It was a hoot! Six ferrets went home that day and 6 more since, including 3 Special Needs getting forever homes. I want to thank everyone, but especially Vicki Rummel our great President. This lady is way cool! She worked hard bringing many, many goodies to the raffle table. Rocky's is blessed to have her, and I am glad she's my friend. THEN, Kim and Stan (formerly KISTA) for doing great work and support. At their expense they brought the entire band for the day and overnight. I would like to invite the FMLers to visit our website. There on our Message Board are many threads of a vast array of topics. Kim (pooflinger) has posted some great pictures of the event and our shelter look for her post on OKTOBERFEST. Also, at the main page in red is the word OKTOBERFEST, click it and it will take you to pictures of our shelter and the event. When you visit, be sure and say HI to everyone on the Message Board. Thanks again for the attendance and all the donations that were generously contributed. http://www.gfme.com/ferretrescue/ Affectionately, Barbara Clay, Director of Shelter Affairs Rocky s Ferret Rescue and Shelter, Inc.
