I back from both the HSUS EXPO 99 & the Ferrets In The Sun Show. Oh my, we had lots of material for the HSUS EXPO 99 (at least I thought) but we ran out of almost everything by Thursday night. The people who attended were "THIRSTY" for ferret info and they SCARFED IT ALL UP. We had so many that were happy about the new Rabies rules - It was marvelous. We had one of the very BEST locations (due to the traffic at our booth we probably had the BEST location) and we milked it for all we were worth. Also we had handouts for the Kissimmee show and many people from the HSUS EXPO came over. A great BIG thank you to those of you who sent us handout's - sorry but they are all gone now except 1 each which we kept so we could reprint them. Many of you will get phone calls in the next couple of weeks from a Humane Society Shelter or the AHA, animal welfare agencies, Animal Planet or other people to help out with picking up Ferrets or just to help them out with Ferret Education. As for the "Ferrets In the Sun" show at Kissimmee that was AWESOME. Debbie Coburn and her gang of ferret people did themselves PROUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was the first Ferret show I have ever been too that actually ended on time and from my point of view (and I was up front near the judging) went off without a hitch. Gosh things were so very smooth there. WAY TO GO DEBBIE AND GANG. Again I want to thank all who sent Informational Handouts and other Ferret Related material for the HSUS EXPO 99 - many little lives will be rescued and saved because of you. Next year it's in Las Vegas from Feb 16 - 20th and I know you will send new and even better stuff -- cause FERRETS GOTTA DANCE and you make it SO.
