People from near and far show their ferrets in classes that are evaluated by judges for colors, patterns and structure.

GFSOE is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Greater Chicago Ferret Association (GCFA).  All proceeds go to help the homeless ferrets who are under the care of the GCFA Shelter, which was founded in 1987. During this time, the GCFA has rescued more than 10,000 ferrets. Yearly, 250-350 ferrets find their way to the GCFA through rescue and relinquishment.

The Greatest Ferret Show On Earth is proud to announce that ALL FERRETS ARE WELCOME!!!

PLEASE BE ADVISED:

The Greatest Ferret Show On Earth is NOT sanctioned by the American Ferret Association (AFA). Points and Placements for this show will not be part of the AFA Points System nor count for AFA Ferret of the Year.
