Important Note From Entry Clerk: Just a heads up that the show information page for America’s Heartland appears to be confusing. This is not one show - it is two separate shows (enter Saturday, or Sunday, or both), It is not a 10 ring show, it is a set of two shows, the Saturday show being 6 rings (5AB, 1SP) and the Sunday show being 4 rings (all AB).

Entrants must specify if they are entering both shows, Saturday only, or Sunday only. They will not automatically be entered for both days. They can send one entry (I will make copies for the second day), but they must clearly indicate on the one form which shows are being entered.

Show Perks: NO CHARGE on Sunday for Double Cage and Grooming Space if you have entered BOTH shows. Be an OPEN on Saturday and have a CHAMPION by the end of the day. MAYBE A NEW GRAND on Sunday afternoon.

Party!!! Party!!!: Saturday night: Celebration Party including a brisket dinner, turkey, tuna salad and trimmings following the show Saturday, compliments of AHL Clubs. Cats can securely remain in benching area during the party. Let's celebrate!!!!!

Sunday morning: Easter Egg Hunt, 8:30 a.m. Oh, my goodness!!!! What prizes await!!!!!

All cats must be free of fleas, fungus, ear mites, and any contagious illness. Show Management reserves the right to cause the removal of any cat from the show hall suspected of any of the above until a licensed veterinarian can make an examination at the exhibitor's expense.
