Man I really really really want to go.  I dont know about spending over 14 hours in a car to get there though.  Or $200 for a flight, then I would need to rent a car.

Are there any other shows coming up and if so where??

[chinclub]

Only 13 days left to pre-register for the show.  Keep in mind that we will be purchasing ribbons based on our pre-registration numbers.  If many more people show up than expected we may not have enough ribbons for everyone.  If this should occur pre-registered guests will be assured ribbons on the show day. Others may have to wait for theirs to be mailed later.

To help make pre-registration easier we have set up an online form and you can pay through PayPal.com  The online form can be found here:

Just a quick question Are the people who will be comming with someone showing their animals (the people observing) going to be able to be with the people who are showing as they groom,  get ready and what-not? Or are they there stricktly to observe and will be in a different area?

   Good question ... usually, they can pretty much help you with the grooming, if you need them to do so ... the number of "helpers" would have to be within a reasonable number ... is that right, Jamie?

Most observers also like to mill around and look at everyone else's chins and get an idea if they might like to buy one or test their own skills at judging and see if they can pick the winner.    This has to be done with courtesy and no touching the chins or picking-up the cages, please!

Once the show starts, everyone has to be in the audience and away from the animals, except for the show animal handlers.
Jamie, do we have some volunteers for handling the animals?

Do we need any volunteers for anything?

Question, please ...  I'm going to set up a table at the show and have several things to sell as well as a few chins to raffle off ... I'm going to put up another thread ... please give me ideas for pricing some of the items, please!

Thanks!

   Hummmm ... Jamie must still be super busy with the Virtual Chinchilla Site.   

Just a reminder ... she needs all the preregistrations to be in to her by the 15 of this month. 

Information for ordering the food, trophies, ribbons and the number of show cages needed are a must! 

We want to make sure we have enough for all the people and for all the chinchillas. 

If your chin wins, I know you would love to be able to take the awards home with you, instead of haveing them sent to you later. 

It is expensive to put on a show and Jamie is going out on a limb for us with her own money, please get your registrations in to her a.s.a.p.! 

Thanks!

PS Donated door prises are greatly appreciated!

Jo Ann is correct, everyone can be together.

I pre-registered- my paypal screen acted up but I'm pretty sure it went through 

If there is anything you need help with- at the show or before it- please email me! I can try to help out some way.

Hi Megan,
I got it.  Thanks!  We will need help.  I am still looking for two people to work at the awards table.

[chicosmama]

Oh I so wish I could go!
South Carolina would be about an 8 hour drive.

Where is it going to be held?

And, what are the judging increments for the chins?

[chinclub]

It is in our Community Recreation center.  It will be an educational 10 class show.  Each chinchilla will be judges individually by the judge's idea of a "perfect" chinchilla.  Then they will be judged against the others on the table to find the best chinchilla at the show.  Its a little more involved than that but you get the basic idea. 
 

[chinclub]

Oh, and we have yet to decide if we will show mutations separately or if mutations and standard will all be shown together.  It depends on the number of animals expected.  The awards will be slightly different depending on which we do but we are thinking right now that there will be Color Champion, Reserve Color Champion and Third Best of Class, Reserve Grand Show, and Grand Show Champion.

[chinclub]

I believe we will also be giving breeder awards (all points earned by chinchillas shown are added up to get the breeders score)

[chicosmama]

I think I might go, I have until my birthday to decide.

I am not sure if I can drive so I need to ask my mom if she wants to make it a vaca. What day is it on? I might have to take a plane so I dunno if I can bring my baby Chico.

If I can't make it to this one, then, I suppose I will make it to the next!

[chinclub]

Its on Saturday Oct. 20. 

[Jo Ann]

   Even if it is not definate ... who all is planning to come to the field day October 20th in S.C.??

I need to get some approximate numbers so I will know what to bring with me.
