       My mom and I had a blast! I came home with 2 new fuzzies, 7 & 1/2 week old brothers. So much for taking my mom along to talk me down from a case of GGMR!!! 
    •  Some people were rude to me, being new to showing, but there were a lot of nice people there too that helped me out. 
    •  It was my first time at something like this, but I have to say- My mom and I weren't dissapointed! I picked up 3 sweet girles for a friend of mine that couldn't come, and a super sweet agouti husky boy that I've name Thistle :) It was so nice to be surrounded by people that felt towards rats the way I do! (though I was quickly snapped back into reality when stopping by a pet supplies plus on the way back home and had a woman turn her nose up at me and Thistle and mutter the word "disgusting" under her breath...) 
    •  Rodentfest is an exciting event consisting of rat shows, adoptions, ratty stuff for sale, etc. 
    •  I like the selection of equipment, hammocks, toys and animals! I was able to meet people that I have been emailing! it was cool to be able to talk to people about their rats and mice. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. I wish the show was a bigger event. I had to miss it because I was busy looking around! I would love to see the next Rodent Fest in Rochester or Syracuse! :) Then, I will help plan and be able to stay longer! Also, I wish that someone was there serving food, like bbq chicken...! It would also be cool if we could buy T-shirts for the event! Thank you for your efforts it was a great time!
