I was wondering if someone could explain exactly what this event is. I am not a new chin owner but I'm not familiar with what MCVA means and what happens at these shows. Is this something my chin can go to and be in a show? Also will venders be there selling chin supplies? I need to know so I know if I should wait for the show to spoil my chins more.

This event is a chinchilla show sponsored by the WI Chapter of MCBA - Mutation Chinchilla Breeders Association - a national organization dedicated to chinchilla breeders across the country. Basically, it is a beauty contest for chins.
Similar to a confirmation dog show, in some respects. Serious breeders are always striving to breed the 'perfect' chinchilla, and a show like this lets us compare our chins to other breeders' chins to see how we stack up.
We welcome all chin breeders and owners to enter and learn more about chinchillas. There are more details to this show listed previously in the thread, as far as times, fees, etc. that you can reference.
The chins will be judged individually on how they would compare to the ideal chin, as well as against each other for top awards.
I have not had any vendors contact me to set up at this show. On occasion, there are vendors with various products at the shows, but not too often. If you are looking for something, it's best to contact folks ahead of time so that they bring what you are for with them.
I know that's a pretty general description, so feel free to let us know if you have more questions.
