Hello FMLers The Alberta Ferret Society's Mascot made it's debut appearance on July 18, 2002 in front of 175,000 spectators who gathered to watch Edmonton's Klondike Days Parade. Sadly though :o( our mascot does not yet have a name! We at the AFS think he deserves a very special name so we've decided to hold a contest. Please visit our web page at http://www.albertaferretsociety.com to have a look at our nameless :o( mascot. Just click on the "AFS Mascot Naming Contest" in our "Quick Updates" section. This contest is open to everyone and runs from July 27, 2002 to August 31, 2002. To enter just mail us your "Mascot Name" along with a $1 entry fee* (one name per entry fee) to the Alberta Ferret Society "Mascot Name" at P.O. Box 68209, 162 Bonnie Doon Mall, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T6C4N6. Be sure to include your name and contact information (either a phone number or email address). If using a phone number please include your area code. The winner will receive their choice of a $20 PETsMART Gift Card or a $20 The Ferret Store.com Gift Certificate. Where multiple entries of the winning name have been submitted the final winner will be selected by a random draw. Draw date is Sept 1, 2002. Please note that as of this posting the link on our web page was being misdirected to our "Ferret Sweater Raffle". We hope to have this error corrected very soon so please keep trying. *All proceeds raised support the rescue and education programs of the AFS.
