TICA Show Results
Wednesday, February 14th, 2007Congratulations to Glass Citicats for a very successful show! When I arrived at the show on Friday afternoon the club hadn’t quite finished setting up so things were a bit crazy. However, that didn’t stop the entry clerk from greeting me at the front door and introducing himself and he shook my hand and thanked me for coming to the show! Wow… I can’t remember having such a greeting at any of the CFA shows that I have too! Usually it’s, give me your money and I will tell you where you are benched. I was really taken back from this greeting. Immediately I felt welcome and appreciated for being there.
I entered 3 kittens: Startrax It’s About Time, Startrax She’s All That and Startrax Moody Blue. Over the coarse of the weekend we made a total of 11 finals! How exciting! I want to thank all of the other Persian breeders that were genuinely happy for my wins, as they seem to appreciate the quality of the cats. I really had a nice time.
The show was sponsored by Royal Canin and they greeted us with champagne and fondue on Friday night. On Saturday the club organized a seminar on genetics and afterwards there was a reception. The show was all about the animals and making people feel welcome and having a good time. This is not the first time that I have been to a TICA show and it won’t be the last either. The show hotel was very clean and pet friendly. The vendors were excellent and there were lots of them to pick up anything from a catnip toy to shampoo. Thanks again Glass Citicats for an excellent show! See you again next year.
The next TICA show in the Great Lakes Region is March 10th and 11th in Dayton Ohio. Check out their website for more information www.tica.org
