All members - I am happy to announce that the Ferret Friends of Indian River County will have their membership kick off at the Vero Mall in Vero Beach Florida on May 16 & 17, 1991. We have run in to one snagg - we must get a certificate of insurance. I have tried State Farm and USAA thus far and neither carries insurance policies for ferret clubs - can anyone out there help our little group? We plan on have a ferret costume contest, contest for longest tails, and contest for pinkest and darkest nose's. Please understand this is our first ever try at this type of thing so any and all suggestions will be welcome. We will have an animal Control officer who will give a talk on Saturday and Sunday, and we are currently trying to get a volunteer from the Human Society (who owns 6 ferrets) to come and talk at our booth. Any suggestions on how to go about advertising or running our event will be deeply (as I said before) appreciated. Thank you to all Chere McCoy and Sweet Samantha (Founder and Co-Founder of Ferret Friends of Indian River county (soon to be a chartered Chapter of the American Ferret Association).
