USARK - Spring Recap
Over the past few months, USARK has been working on many pieces of legislation, from city to federal. Most notably: stopping overregulation in Rhode Island and broad bans in Colorado and South Dakota, a hearing on federal regulation of the Southern Hognose snake, meetings in D.C., and continued work on many other carryover issues.
We like Tinley in June, how 'bout you?
As always, thank you to our volunteers who make every auction possible. It was nice to see you again at the new June Tinley show! The custom metal-and-wood LED USARK sign was made and donated by Jim and Anna of Color Crazed Constrictors and Next Level Displays.
Since our last recap, we attended the Global Pet Expo, Phoenix Reptile Expo, NARBC shows in Dallas and Tinley Park (March and June shows). Plus, Gary Tarplee and wonderful volunteers handled some shows in Northern California for us, including the Sacramento Reptile Show and San Jose Reptile Show.
Merch Alert!!!
