Time: 11:00-5:00 Admission: $2 per person, $10 family max Meet the Author! Gerbil Farmer's Daughter  Holly Robinson Cookson appears with copies her brand-new book, The Gerbil Farmer's Daughter, which tells the story of America's largest and most successful gerbil farm. Kirkus Reviews writes: "Journalist Robinson cheerfully recalls growing up with a closeted gerbil-breeder....It’s a scenario that could have been lifted from a 1960s sitcom, but Robinson invests the narrative with pathos, good-natured moments of absurdity and plenty of keen humor....Daffy yet sweet and affecting." A remarkable story in the history of our beloved pets told with sparkling humor and affection! Pet Class In order to better serve the traditionally large public turn-out, we will break the Pet Class into two segments. The morning class (11:30 am-12:30 pm) is targeted toward younger children (ages 8 & under) and uses our traditional "Best Whiskers" format to acknowledge the things that make each gerbil special with a blue ribbon for every gerbil. The afternoon segment (1:30-3:30) will feature a Mock Show for gerbils owned by kids ages 9 & up. Trained AGS Asst. Judges (youth members ages 11 and up who have taken Judges' Training) will award 1st, 2nd and 3rd place Pet Class ribbons to pet gerbils, judging them by color class using the AGS Standards, exactly like the breed show. The Jr. Judges will describe the characteristics of the winning gerbils. This mock show will be an excellent chance for older children interested in showing gerbils to learn what makes a winning gerbil in a less-competitive, educational event. Register for the Pet Class at the AGS Show site Photo Contest Can't come to the show in person? Send in a photo of your gerbil and we'll let the visiting public choose a winner! Silent Auction & Raffle Beautiful craft items, useful gerbil supplies, adorable novelties and more, to benefit the AGS! In past years we have had wonderful items from books to jewelry to quilts to gerbil supplies. Exotic Pet Visitors Rebecca Azer of Gerbil Parade will speak about rabbit care and the joy of owning a bunny. Meet Elvis and hear all about how much a fun a bunny can be! post a comment
Has anyone seen a knitted hamster pattern toy/stuffie? I have been looking all around and came up with nothing. I would love to be able to make some for the upcoming gerbil show at the end of the month.
I am going to try this challenge. It will be my first one.

The American Gerbil Society's 2008 New England Gerbil Show is rapidly approaching! This year's show will be in Nashua, New Hampshire and takes place on May 17th. Gerbil breeders and owners from around the country will be at the show to show off their gerbils, sell gerbil merchandise, and even adopt out gerbil pups! It's a great opportunity to learn more about gerbils. AGS members can also enter their gerbils in a gerbil show (just like a dog show, except with gerbils). Although judging occurs behind closed doors, at the end of the show, winners are announced. There is a wonderful pet class where kids can bring their pete gerbils and compete for fun. Prizes awarded for best chewer, shoulder sitter and lots more. Click the link above to learn more about the New England Gerbil Show. Hope to see you there! I will be there showing off my two little girls Simone and Mona. I will also be selling my knitted rodent merchandise (rats, gerbils, mice) in honor of the Chinese Year of the Rat. Mona and Simone

Dad went into the hospital Tuesday the 24 of July . His colitis is acting up very badly. The Cleveland Clinic is the best around. Hopefully they will find out what is wrong. He has surgery to have his colon removed this past Tuesday on the 31st. He is now in recovery. He has his good days and bad. post a comment

I have been on a knitted toy kick lately. Since my SO hurt his back over the holidays, we mostly stayed home and watched tv and movie. He is going to the chirpractor this afternoon.
I have been on a knitting kick lately. I have been working on stuffed animals for craft shows. I am always looking for rodent patterns like mice, squirrels, gerbils, hamster, degu.
I love to knit. I also love to take care of my 4 gerbils and my hamster. |
