[RDZCRanch]

The deadline for show book advertisements is February 25th. I have received a few advertisements already, but we can always use more to make the show book better!

 

[symphle]

Question: If I want to bring door prizes do I mail them to someone in advance before the show?

 

[RDZCRanch]

If you will be at the show, you do not need to mail the door prize in ahead of time. You can just bring it to the show! You can send a picture and your name to [email protected] if you would like to see your door prize advertised ahead of time. We put a few of the prizes we know about before the show on the advertisement to let people know what kind of prizes will be available.

Advertisement prices for the show book as well as sponsorship prices are listed on the Empress website. http://empresschinchilla.org which is where we will try to keep current information on the national show.

Just a head's up. If you still have to book your room and need two beds, you have to call the hotel directly. They are out of the two double beds option online, but will make an exception for our group if you call. Ask for Sarah. If you have any problems, PM or email me.

Tabitha, on January 16 I sent a Paypall payment for the Junior Breeder Champion trophy as well as Beige CC.

I didn't see my name for Junior Breeder...
