It's here! Saturday marks the 23rd Annual Greatest Ferret Show On Earth, sponsored by Ferret Depot and taking place at the Odeum in Villa Park, IL. This show is the largest fundraiser for the Greater Chicago Ferret Association, which is now housing over 120 ferrets. This is a large show, offering a little something for everyone. There are 9 judges, judging a total of 4 Title Classes and 20 specialty classes. 157 ferrets are entered in the show, so you will be able to see ferrets of all colors and sizes. The hall is filled with 30 vendors selling everything from jewelry, to photographs, to ferret food, to trinkets, and of course cages. This year we are offering human massages for $2 per minute, with half the proceeds going to the shelter. The raffle and auction tables are filled with bargains galore: hand crafted works of art, bags of food, bedding, electronics, and tickets to Chicago vacation spots. An incredible addition to this year's show is an appearance by Travis Livieri of Prairie Wildlife Organization. He will be showing and talking about his new documentary "Return of the Prairie Bandit" a documentary on the re-introduction of the Black-Footed Ferret into the west.
