Below is the list of the owners and the top three ferrets for AFA's 2009 Ferret of the Year Awards (for each class Adolescent, Alter, Breeder, Companion). Congratulations to all the finalists! Ferrets are listed in order of their owner's name - not by any placement. Only I know the winners at this time. BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA....oh, sorry, excuse me for that little indiscretion. Once again if you have a ferret who you think should be one of the top three in their class, please contact me directly at my [log in to unmask] email address. Winners will be announced at AFA's Second Annual Awards Banquet, Friday, March 19th at the Holiday Inn Conference Center in York, PA. More information on the banquet and AFA's 2010 Spring Nationals Ferret Competition can be found on the AFA website www.ferret.org.
