What a wonderful weekend. I'm thankful I was able to see some long time friends again and meet a few new ones. It was great to be able to match a few new faces with names I know, and if I didn't get around to saying 'Hi' and introducing myself, I'm sorry. I was rather scattered! During each event, we honor a few people that have given so much of themselves to the ferret community. I would like to share who received our awards for this event. One Special Achievement Award went to Mike Janke for Dissseminating Ferret Health Information. Another went to Judy Cooke for Service to the Ferret Community. The third and final award went to Dr. Katrina Ramsell for Treatment and Support for DIM Victims. If you would like to see what the awards look like, an image of Mike's is on the IFC website. http://www.ferretcongress.org/ (click on Special Achievement Awards in the left column) I would like to thank everyone that helped make this event so successful. Thank you to our sponsors, our raffle donors, our volunteers, our attendees, and finally our committee that worked so long and tirelessly to pull all the details together. You are all awsome! We were all exhausted as we made the trek home, but in the back of my head, I was thinking.....where will the next one be???
