​Preregistered participants will be showing ferrets throughout the day.  The Ferret Buckeye Bash is a championship ferret show with 4 championship rings and over 19 specialty rings.

​​This year is our 19th year in Columbus, Ohio.  We are looking forward to another great show year!

VENDORS… see list and show hall layout​

Additional info:

•  Parking is still free as is the WiFi. 

• Many enjoyed the nice padded chairs and the projector screen in the lobby was fun to watch.   

• The concession stand had really good food but outside food is allowed.   This year there is a brand new Kroger’s grocery store with a fabulous deli located right across from the show hall.

• The location is easy to find, just off Morse Rd., 2 miles East of I-71 North and 3 miles West of I-270 on Eastside.
