Well, I made my first-ever trip to a gerbil show last weekend - the 2008 AGS New England show in Nashua, NH. I had an great time and I definitely plan to be back next year. 
According to the organisers, there were 150 gerbils entered this year, almost double last year's turn-out. Results are posted here: www.agsgerbils.org/NEShow2008/results.html And the show was mentioned on New Hampshire Public Radio: www.nhpr.org/node/16107
Here are some pics. I really wish I'd taken more, but I was quite busy taking in the event and helping out.
Judging:
The Gerbil Olympics chewing contest:
Some of the attendees:
Shootingstar's Cloud and babies. I adopted two of the grey agouti pups (Newton and Nash) at the show.
A view across Lake Champlain in northern Vermont on the trip home:
The weekend went by all too quickly. Looking forward to next year.

and also a special mention to Michelle (Maestrobrood) for breeding the gerbil!
