Our last event was over a year ago and we've gotten so many requests to have another 'fun-day' that we decided it was about time to do it again! So come and spend a day meeting other ferret-fanatics, enjoying some games, contests and maybe sit in on some seminars being presented by three of Phoenix's best ferret veterinarians. This years event promises to be something special. We've gotten quite a bit of help from our friends and we've been able to expand the events taking place to include the following... Ferret Games & Contests: Now what kind of a 'frolic' would it be without some events especially suited for our little 'slinkies'? Last year we had 'tunnels races' , a 'wagon pull' event and a sort of 'Easter basket' game. This year we'll be adding some new games and hopefully having contests for other specialties like 'Best Dressed' or 'Most Cuddly'. Presentations/Seminars: Local veterinarians Dr. Wayne Svoboda, Dr. Jeanette Molina and Dr. T. Driggers have graciously accepted our invitations to come and give presentations on several subjects that will be of interest to almost any ferret owner. Two of the seminars will be 'Ferret Wellness, Care and Adrenal Disease' by Dr. Driggers and 'Insulinoma and Ulcers' by Dr. Jeanette Molina. Dr. Svoboda will probably be hosting a general 'Question and Answer' session that we're sure will be very enlightening! Raffles: This years raffle will probably include several items that are being donated by various vendors. We may also be able to offer some beautiful artwork or reprints by local ferret artists. Nail Clip/Ear Cleaning: Now would we want our fuzz-butts to be seen out in public without a nice pedicure and looking sharp? Certainly not... So this year we'll have a booth set up where you can have your kids nails done and they can get pampered a bit. Digital Photographers: This year we be having a couple of photographers come and help us to 'capture the memories'. Some of them will have digital cameras and we should be able to reprint colors photos (same day). This would be a wonderful opportunity to have your picture taken with your fuzzies and maybe even get that special 'portrait' to send your family. Vendors: We'd like to extend an open invitation to all ferret and pet-related product vendors to come and set up a small booth at this year's event. If you'd be interested in knowing more about the event or want to ask questions about marketing your products, PLEASE give us a call at the phone number above! Swap Meet/Rummage: Okay, so who doesn't have some extra ferret supplies just lying about, gathering dust? This might be a chance for you to sell (or trade) those items for something you really need! You may also have items you'd like to donate to one of the local ferret shelter/rescue organizations. Heaven knows they could always use a little extra help. Donating items, food and supplies is a great way to support those folks who do so much to help homeless or unwanted fuzzies and extend their hearts (and pocketbooks) to those ferrets in need... Shelter/Rescue Adoptions: We're also inviting many of the statewide shelter/rescues to come and take applications for adoptions. We know several of these shelters really need to find 'forever', loving homes for some of the many fuzz-butts that they're caring for. Most are in great health and only need for a family to love them and give them a second chance. If you are a shelter/rescue or know of one that would be interested in attending our event, PLEASE have them contact us at the phone number above. Food and Beverages: All concessions are being handled by Westwind Academy. Proceeds from food and beverage sales are going to help build Westwind Academy a new gymnasium in exchange for allowing us to your their property for our event. (Our thanks to Mrs. Tualla from Westwind Academy for allowing us to use the schools grounds. We couldn't have asked for a nicer venue!) All proceeds from the frolic will be used to help needy ferrets. Could there be any better cause?
