TECF Cat Club

The Evergreen Cat Fanciers is looking for photos of Alice Rhea, as our Valentines weekend show is dedicated to her memory. If you have a nice photo, please let us know and we'll include it in our tribute to Alice! We are looking forward to a wonderful show!

Cages were decorated nicely and we had hard time selecting the winners!

The line up for the cat costume contest was as show hall long! Great participation and huge success!

Our show website is now up and ready for your entries for The Evergreen Cat Fanciers' "My Furry Valentine" show to be held February 8th & 9th, 2013 at the Ferndale Event Center! This is a fantastic show location with carpeted floors, easy access to restaurants, hotels, etc.

Early bird prices will be ending soon (January 3, 2014) so don't procrastinate! Get those entries in. We have terrific judges, fun events (including FREE male & female congresses, another wonderful raffle, and of course, our Junior Exhibitor ring). All championship cats will automatically be entered in the congresses. These will be ALLBREED congresses - we need 20 entries for it to count. Congresses are an excellent way to add titles to your cats, so take advantage of this opportunity!

AIRFARE!!! Many airlines are having after the holiday sales, so take advantage of the discounted airfares available! The closest airport is Bellingham, but for those who wish to fly into Seattle we can try to help find someone with whom you can carpool! FREE transportation between the show hotel and the show hall is provided.

Enter now and enter often! Further information can be found at:

The Evergreen Cat Fanciers - February 2014 Show

Unfortunately last night there was a slight glitch in The Evergreen Cat Fanciers website and the Summary Sheets would not submit. If you tried to enter and were unsuccessful, please try again! We have the problem fixed. http://www.evergreencatfanciers.com/february/enter.aspx

I know some of you were disappointed to be left out of the Portland show when entries closed early. The Evergreen Cat Fanciers does not want this to happen to you at our show, so please get those entries in by this Friday, February 1st. That's when our entries close and we don't do late pages. Don't forget - we have our two Congresses as well for those of you working on titles. One for the boys and one for the girls - and they are FREE! Enter now and enter often. We plan on having a really great time!

While you are at it, don't forget to order lunches for the show. We have a wonderful new caterer that promises to be the best yet. Sandwiches made to order, delicious soups, and great salads. Check it out on our website at: http://www.evergreencatfanciers.com/february/form_lunch.aspx

The Evergreen Cat Fanciers - February 2013 Show We reserve the right to cancel entries for which payment has not yet been received. you plan to pay at the door, you should also plan to pay the $25 late fee!

Happy New Year Exhibitors!

We are getting down to the wire now! Our Early Bird rates for our show end at midnight tonight. So please get your Summary Sheets and/or entries in as soon as you can. I am leaving town tomorrow and will be gone through the weekend, so confirmations will not be coming until I get back. But that doesn't mean you can procrastinate. Any Summary Sheet and payment not received by midnight tonight won't qualify for our Early Bird special!

The Evergreen Cat Fanciers would like to thank our fabulous judges, all the friendly exhibitors from all over the US and Canada, our wonderful vendors, our show photographer Gus Sanderson, Kathleen Shaw and The Community Cat Coalition for manning the gate and everyone who helped make this show another success by sponsoring the judging rings and the hospitality table. A very special thanks to our Master Clerk, Roma Anthony for a clearly marked catalogue, our ring clerks and our ring stewards, without you the show doesn't go on. A huge and very special thank you to Fred Weitz and Rick Johnston for all your hard work in helping with setting up and tearing down the show hall. Thank you Christina Cheng, Kathleen Fortner and Stefani Dell for your help in setting up/tearing down, Wayne Trnka for picking up litter for the club and a huge thanks to Sharon Kalani for your help with the tedious job of vacuuming the show hall afterwards. Finally, a great big thanks to our club members, Elaine Hawksworth Weitz, Jan Dell, Ann Lervold, Keri Chapman and Paula Johnston for all your hard work in helping put on another wonderful NW Region show.
We look forward to seeing all of you back at our "My Furry Valentine" show Feb. 9th and 10th, 2013 at the wonderful Ferndale Events Center in Ferndale Washington.

We are getting close to closing for the show, and I'm all caught up with entries, so I thought I'd throw in another reminder to get your entries in for The Evergreen Cat Fanciers show being held in Tukwila, WA on Oct. 13 & 14. Entries will close this Sunday night at 10PM, and there will be NO LATE PAGES. I have plans on Saturday (an HCM clinic) and will be gone for most of the day, so if you are planning on entering sooner would be better than later for me! :)

We have wonderful judges, a very nice raffle, Kelly Hayton's delicious delectables, amazing vendors, friendly club members to help you, free transportation to and from the show hall, a junior exhibitor ring (judges by the queen of the Junior Exhibitor Program - Sharon Kalani), a wonderful venue, cat friendly hotel....... what more could you want?

I still have a couple of open spots for clerks and/or stewards, so if you are interested please let me know ASAP. Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch? Lunch is provided for all our stewards and clerks, as well as payment for time served. :) We are VERY appreciative of our stewards and clerks. We think they're the best!

Please get your entries in and make those hotel reservations. We want to see your smiling faces in Tukwila next weekend! Information is available at: http://www.evergreencatfanciers.org/october/

Thank you to all of our wonderful sponsors who have sponsored our judging rings, junior exhibitors, and show hall hospitality! And thanks to ALL who so generously support our show, either by sponsorships, donations, labor, or by exhibiting. We appreciate you all so much! Come join us and have a great time!
