All ferrets brought into the show hall MUST show proof of a current rabies and sign a waiver stating distemper vaccination is current. Must also have proof of current Aleution Disease Virus (ADV) results within 1 year of show date.
ADV Policy and where to get your ferret ADV Tested
Franklin County REQUIRES ferrets to have a current rabies vaccination to be legal. 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.
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 is fun to watch.
The concession stand has 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.
