...Baby derby?? As in...Babies running? With their cute little wobbly legged gaits?!
*dead of cute*
 
The baby derby is when they are judged by cuteness. They are in show cages and have jars next to each cage and you put a quater in the jar(s) of your favorite and whichever one has the most wins.

I can see myself with a roll of quarters, putting a few of them in every jar, cuz all bebbies are cute. ;)

That's how the York Baby Derby is run, not all baby derbies are the same. In Ohio, every attendee gets a ticket and therefore can only vote for one kit. This is the first time NY/NE has had a baby derby so I'm not sure how it's going to be run.
 
what's a chinese auction/raffle?

What other chapters refer to as their raffled "door prizes" which isn't really the correct name since the items are not given away just because you showed up. I guess Chinese Auction is the correct name for it.

It's where each item has it's own bag for you to put raffle tickets in.
 
The board discussed how we are going to do the baby derby and we are going to have you vote with quarters like they did at the York Show!

A chinese auction/raffle is where their are items for examples: feed, gift baskets, animal and human items that people donate to the show and you can buy chances(tickets) to win the items. Say there are 20 items and you buy a certain amount of tickets, you can put all the tickets on one item or you can put a ticket on each item!
 
I would like to see the babies at least 8 wks. old. up to 4mos. I would say. I don't think there has ever been an age limit.

So is there someone who wants to be my chaperon and make sure I don't buy any/all chinchillas while I'm there? Cause that would help me out a lot :p
