Who knew?!  Well if you didn't either, you are about to find out:

Coming to Westlake in a couple of weeks, and not even for the first time, is a pet show of sorts for the breeders, caretakers, and enthusiasts of the furry little rodents known as Gerbils.

There will be Judges and prizes and chewing competitions and races and if I had to guess, probably a fair amount of Gerbil-themed merch, too.

This event is sponsored by the American Gerbil Society, its happening from 11am to 5pm on October 26th and the cost to attend is $5.
