Hi guys >>> <<< This is Skooter from the Way Kewl Kritter Crew. Our dad is kinda busy right now pullin' his hair out from the last few days. The 'puter crashed and he spent a lotta time getting it fixed again. Think he needed a break from it tonight. Anyway, I wanted to remind everyone that this upcoming Sunday, August 11th is the day of the Pacific Shelter Network GRAND FERRET FUN FROLIC ~! The PFSN does a lot to start and support ferret shelters here in the Pacific Northwest. The Frolic is the major fundraiser. Now, a lot of us kids in the kritter crew came from the shelter, so WE know what important work they do. The Frolic is being held in Clackamette Park in Oregon City, just off Hwy 99 and I-205. It's a real nice park with a lake and all kinda room. The PFSN will have some really big tents set up to help give everyone a lot of shade. There will be individual games for the fuzzies such as a Bag Bust-Out. Dress your kids up for the a costume contest. There will also be tube races - If you have a favorite tube (5 foot long) ask your hoomans to bring it. If not, there will be some available that your hoomans can buy for a small fee. I heard dad saying there will be lots of good things being auctioned off to raise money. Some things he talked about were a digital camera kit and a homemade authentic German dinner for 4. Shelter mom said that people were making up neat gift baskets for auction. Stuff for hoomans and critters alike. Doctor Alice Davis will be there too ~!~! She's a great vet ... we really like her. She loves talking about health concerns for fuzzies. She will be giving a talk on ferret health and maintenance of teeth. It's really important stuff because bad dental health can lead to lotsa serious medical problems <besides, we all like fuzzies with bright smiles~!>. Food will be available along with lots of vendors. You should be able to find anything you need from cages to food to hammies Uh-oh . . . sounds like dad is coming ~!~! I better get off now. He may think I broke the 'puter last time. If you have any questions about the Frolic .. send an email to my dad at [log in to unmask] just please don't tell him I wrote this ~!~! Dooks ~!~!
