Hey Folks! Only 5 more days until the 2013 FERRET BUCKEYE BASH! This Saturday, August 24th from 10-6. at Veterans Memorial Hall, 300 West Broad St., Columbus, OH. The Ferret Buckeye Bash is Heart of Ohio Ferret Association and Rescue's shelter fundraiser. We are again proud to have FerretDepot.com as our title sponsor. There will be over 30 vendors selling everything you can imagine pertaining to ferrets. We will have some Japanese items. Vendors will have sleep sacks, hammocks, giant fish beds, wonky's, crinkle tunnels, shaker eggs, t-shirts, handcrafted silver jewelry, ferret food, pet furniture and lots of other cool stuff. Many of our vendors are shelters raising funds for their shelter. Heather McNally will be doing micro chipping. Bob Church and Nathan Vandecar will be speaking. Yuko Akiyama will be here from Japan. She's bringing awesome Japanese ferret items for her booth, raffle and the silent auction. We will also have tube racing, a costume contest, photo contest, and a heaviest and lightest contest. There will be over 400 ferrets being judged in championship and specialty rings, representing many proud ferret owners and breeder's from across the country. Did we mention the raffle? Some of the items we have for the raffle are wine baskets, a Weasel Beer Basket, a huge Sam Adams neon sign, a large limited edition Sam Adams Octoberfest beer stein complete with a 6pk of Octoberfest beer, and a framed print from Shelley Mandel, awesome ferret bedding, and much, much more. There are very strict guidelines to having ferrets at the show hall. They must be up to date on their rabies, distemper, and Adv. You must have all paperwork before entering show hall with your ferrets. No other animals will be permitted.
