September 14, 2013 .... Midwest Ferret Fellowship Faire ..... ... there's a new twist .... After 8 years of hosting independent shows, this year's Faire will be sanctioned by the American Ferret Association. The MFF joins 8 other AFA sanctioned ferret shows in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Virginia. More specifically, the MFF Faire joining the Ferret 500, Buckeye Bash and Greatest Show on Earth creates a "Midwest Area" so to speak. For anyone who may not know, to qualify for AFA's "Ferret Of The Year" awards, a ferret must be shown in at least 4 AFA shows in the same Title or Specialty class within the same year so these 4 shows make it more convenient. The Midwest Ferret Fellowship is hosting this event to support the West Michigan Ferret Connection, a home-based ferret rescue based in Grand Rapids that has been in existence since October 2001 and has re-homed over 500 ferrets during this time. The Faire is also moving to a new location: Rivertown Sports in Grandville (2605 Sanford Avenue SW, Grandville MI 49418).

We encourage anyone to consider supporting our event by being a show sponsor and/or vendor, buying an ad or donating to the raffle. Contact: [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML 7818]
