In case you need a pygmy up

If you've read this blog at all in the last year, you know I love me some hedgehogs.

Well tomorrow is a big day. The Mid-West Hedgehog Show will be taking place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Shawnee Lodge #54.

What is a hedgehog show? Here's the answer given on the website, where it's written in big red, purple and blue print:

A Hedgehog Show is a show where the Africa Pygmy Hedgehog is put on displayed and judged based on its Coloring, Markings, Age and Gender. Just like a Cat or Dog Show there will be a judge and ribbons given to the "Winning" Hedgehogs" in each of our Classes (Solid, White and Pinto)For those needing more information on the Hedgehog Show Classes check out our page labeled "Show Standards"

We will also being having what is called a "Kid's Class" where children and their hedgehogs are judged based on how the child holds the hedgehog and the hedgehog's behavior to being held which each child will be given a ribbon for.

Also we will have our "Games" Class where you can see how your hedgehog rates compared to other hedgehogs in the different hedgehog games like Hedgie Bowling, Let's Go Hunting, It's Race Time, just to name a few.

This show is open to the public and with or without a hedgehog everyone is welcome to come and join us.

And yes, there will be hedgehog bowling.
