Everyone has been asking when is FERRETSTOCK 2009? [drum roll] It's Saturday May 30th For all the great details: http://rockysferrets.com/events/fs/ferretstock.html If you're new to Rocky's FERRETSTOCK, I'll tell you a bit about it. It's not a show, it's not a meet-n-greet for your personal ferrets. This is a one of a kind party in the entire country, ......it's an opportunity for those that love ferrets to get together and party! We've been doing Ferretstock for many years as our fundraiser, and one of the joys is watching folks meet that have known each other for years through various forums. Rocking DJ Bob Adams will be providing the music and emceeing the event. He's affectionately known as DJ Ferretone! All day and evening, our guests are invited to crash Bob's stage, take the mic and perform Karaoke. Trust me, this gets more fun as the evening progresses! This year we will be having a Karaoke contest with a big prize for the contestant that receives the most votes! Chef Charles and Nick will be in charge of the grill and providing hot entres for our guests at a minimal cost. The raffles are outstanding, with 6 tables full of donated items. Our raffle website will be up and live in a couple weeks, and I'll post when that happens. Meanwhile, if anyone would like to donate to help support our shelter efforts in this fundraiser, please drop me a line or call. It's a family event until the sun goes down. At that time we light the traditional huge bonfire. This party usually goes until the sun comes up! Guests are invited to come camp out on the grounds where the event is held. Or if camping isn't your thing, there are a variety of hotels within a 20 minute drive of the venue. For those flying in, BWI is about a 45 minute drive away, and right now there are some great cheap fares happening! I invite any questions or RSVPs offline to [log in to unmask] As the time nears for the event, I'll be posting more information. This is the party of the year, and already we have folks coming from as far away as Californinia. We're looking forward to FERRETSTOCK 2009 being the biggest and best in all the years we've been inviting the world to come party with the Rocky's folks!
