I'd liek to let peopel know that there is a rodent show in Oak Brook Illinois (west suburbs from chicago) on October 20th, from 10 to 4pm.
The show is sponseredby the rat and mosue fanciers for excellence ( http://www.rodentfancy.com/rmfe ) so the standard classes will be only for rats and mice. However, the household pet contests are open to all domestic pet rodent species- rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs etc. So if anyone wants to enter a pet, please visit the RMFE website and look for a link for show information there. If you have any trouble accessing info, email the rmfe at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Additionally there will be a raffle for rodent related gifts, rodent products /crafts/jewelry for sale, a craft table for decorating ornaments for the brookfield zoo tree trim (we decorate a rat/mouse tree there every year for the Holiday festival), information on pet care. There will be some fanciers with rodents of different species available for purchase/adoption also. I will be there with rats, mice, gerbils and a couple guinea pigs. AG
