On May 5th, 2012 they hope all area animal lovers will stop by Oats Park in Fallon, Nevada to see first hand what all the excitement is about.  Ferret Racing will be at the 2012 Bark in the Park/5K Run.  Bring your fastest (vaccinated) ferret or rent one of the rescue ferrets to race for you.  $5 per person/ferret per race entry fee—winners select one prize from a giant prize table of all sorts of generously donated prizes. Everything from toys, trinkets, and house wares, to free pizzas donated by Papa Murphy's and a complimentary dinner from Stockman's Casino.

Races begin at 10 am and run approx every half hour as long as it doesn’t get to hot for the racers.
Between races try your hand at the now famous “Litter Box Toss”--
Just $1 to play …hit the box and win a prize ~ simple!

Also, check out the WWFR closed bid auction*
  1. A Giant size custom made dog house donated by John and Carolyn Riise-  value over $500
  2. A spring yard clean up donated by Aladay Organic Farms – value $275
* Highest bidder will be notified by phone or email May 7th- payment due within 5 days.
Feel free to ask the rescue staff questions, learn about this fascinating and complicated animal, and find out if a ferret might be a pet you would consider (if you haven’t already). **no adoptions will take place during the event.
All proceeds go to support the Wind & Willows Ferret Rescue efforts. WWFR receives no government funding and is 100% volunteer run.
