Hi... Well we got 10 days left for the 1st Annual All Specialty "FERRET FAIR '99". It seems just like it was yesterday we started planning this show. I want to thank all of you who have sent in your Entry forms and to those vendors for committing to our show. We are very excited to be able to have a show here in the South East area, and with all the support, we are already planning 2 shows for the Y2K. I have talked to the Director of the Fairgrounds and he has assured me that they will have open dates for us when ever we need them. The show hall is a 15,000 sq. ft facility with ample heat and ac, and electricity through out the building. It also has Ceiling fans and a 30' suction fan to keep it cool, or warm. It is a 2 yr. old building. If you are Planing to attend our show, Please if you have not already get your Entries in today. If you are a vendor we do have space left, so get your packet to us today, so we can assure you the best available spot.

Some of the local Radio stations are planning to get us on there morning show this week and next, and have already been on 3 morning show, along with the TV stations giving us a spot. Folks, Judy and I appreciate ALL your support you are giving us here, and we want to thank Vicki Mckimmey and the AFA, and LIFE for the use of there Judges.
