Idaho Winter Rat Expo
Date: March 6, 2010
Time: 12:00pm to 5:00pm
Location: Whitney Elementary School, 1609 S. Owyhee St. Boise, ID 83705
We have had such great turn-out and interest in June's Rat-A-Rama, that this year, we've decided to add a second Boise show! IWRE will be more focused on Pet Classes, with a small confirmation class, for pet owners who would like to get a taste for it, and see how judging works. It is NOT required that your rat be 'fancy' or 'pedigreed' in order to compete.
There will be kittens available for adoption at the show.
Registration to enter your rats in classes closes on February 13th, at midnight. If your rat is not registered by that date, it will not be allowed in the building. Why? We observe a three-week quarentine period before a show to ensure our rats are free from disease. More information on Quarentine HERE.
Fees:
- Entry fees for rats: $2.00 per class (ex. if you want your rat to compete in both Largest rat and Kissiest rat, that is two classes, therefore your fee would be $4.00). Paid when your rat is health-checked the day of the show.
- Spectators: $2.00 per adult, $1.00 per child/senior (Not charged if you have rats entered to compete!)
Show Schedule: Number of Entries may be adjusted as I finish getting the information up.
