Idaho Winter Rat Expo

Date:  March 6, 2010

Time:  12:00pm to 5:00pm

To Be Held At
Whitney Elementary School, 1609 S. Owyhee St.  Boise, ID 83705

Rat registrations due by Feb 13

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.

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 quarantine period before a show to ensure our rats are free from disease.

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!)
