We are proud to have The FerretDepot.com as our title sponsor with SuperPet and Zupreem as a contributing sponsors. The Ferret Buckeye Bash is one of the largest ferret shows in the USA. Along with the championship and specialty showing, we again have the Photo Contest along with lots of vendors, an awesome raffle, fun events, speakers -- Bob Church, Kim Schilling of Ferrets for Dummies and more! With over 25 vendors, you can just come for the shopping alone! Show registration paperwork with vendor, hotel and other information can be downloaded in PDF format from our website: http://www.hofa-rescue.org/ If you are unable to download, contact me at [log in to unmask] and I snail-mail it to you. Remember, all ferrets in the show hall must have a current distemper vaccination, a record of a current rabies (Imrab 3) vaccination and a current (within 6 months prior to show date) ADV negative test results from one of the labs listed in the registration paperwork. The Ferret Buckeye Bash is Heart of Ohio Ferret Association and Rescue's main fundraiser. It's through the support of our generous sponsors, club members, exhibitors, vendors, speakers and attendees, we are able to offer this wonderful educational event to the public. Thereby, enabling HOFA-Rescue to maintain our shelter and provide necessary support and care for so many homeless ferrets in Central Ohio. Hope to see everyone there!
