SEC-MCBA February 13, 2010 SHOW PREREGISTRATION
Here is the schedule the show will follow on Saturday Feb 13, 2010:
6 am setup in the Holiday Inn ballroom (feel free to come and help)
8-10 am registration and chin grooming, good time to look at the raffle items and read the poster presentations, look at the chins in the show for sale
10-approx 12 noon First part of the show judging, with chin classification at the start
12 noon-1 pm LUNCH with question/answer with a panel of chin breeders
1 pm-approx 3pm Chin show judging continues, RAFFLE and baby derby after lunch and at break pre-trophy awards
5 pm social in the judge’s suite at the Holiday Inn
We encourage you to preregister (DEADLINE January 13, 2010), and we’ll make it worth your while because you save money! And your registration will be refunded if you can’t come to show last minute. Here’s why: we know what the Holiday Inn will charge us to use the show room, IF we don’t have enough preregistrations to pay the bill, registration at the door will be HIGHER. It’s a win-win situation if you preregister—no risk, money back, and lower charge (maybe a lot lower).
Full registration means l) you get a show book free ($5 value), 2) you’ll likely get a chin-goodie bag with coupons (we are working on several vendors to try to do this), 3) you can show a chin or chins, 4) you will have free lunch and the social with the judge after the show—the whole tamale. MOST people coming to show for the first time, and breeders, will want to do a full registration, and use limited registration for family members or friends.
Limited registration means you are accompanying someone with full registration, you get to see the show but cannot show chins, you do not get a free show book but you do get lunch.
Chin fees are for those who are ‘showing’ chins. Baby derby fees ditto.
Photo CD—we will take pictures during the show so you don’t have to and can spend all your time watching and learning. The CD will not be ready until after the show is over (of course).
Show T shirts and stuff—you pick your own if you preregister (but not later!). ANYTHING on the website
www.bigfrog.com you can order, for the posted price, plus tax—and we’ll order it for you for pickup at show. You will NOT be able to get any special orders after show and the only thing that will be for sale at show will be white T shirts. (The chin show logo they’ll put on whatever you order you can view at
www.centralfloridachinchillas.com).
Carly/Charley chinchilla. These cute stuffed animals are available now, and if you want to enter the ‘best dressed chinchilla’ contest, we’ll mail your chin to you so you can design a costume for him/her. There will be awards so think “Project Runway” and wow the judges.
Junior breeder poster contest is just that—for breeders l8 years and younger who want to present a chin-related topic on a poster. There are no entry fees but there will be awards for best poster(s).
Want to bring “chin products” to sell at show? Consider renting a “table” or donating product for free table space.
Want to sponsor a trophy? We’d love that and we will announce your name and print your sponsorship in our Show Book.
Want an ad in the Show Book? Just email ad-ready copy and it will be printed exactly that way. You can advertise anything (within reason) but chin-related stuff probably is best.
