Annual
Philadelphia Pherret Phestival!
The second annual Philadelphia Pherret Phestival
has been and gone, but as far as most people who attended are concerned, it was
great fun and a huge success.
Here are just a few pictures of some of
the more memorable moments from the show:

The Show Hall
Once again, the Phestival took place in
the Westaby Hall; a spectacular venue for a ferret show. And the staff and
crew who ran the hall and made sure everything was handled properly were
terrific.
Vet Checks
The vet check is critical for protecting
everyone’s ferrets from disease or infection. Here, Dr. Anna Edling is being
assisted by Elaine Leader.
Judging
The judging is an important part of
every ferret show. Shown from left to right:

Fun Games
Probably everyone’s favorite part of any ferret show is the
Fun Games. Here, a few of the younger crowd bring their furry friends to
take part in the basket escape. Special thanks to Jeff Beitzel for running
the Fun Games all day.
