The Founders of the Dutch Foundation "Stichting het Stinkdier" and European Reps of Skunkhaven, were invited to Skunkfest in Ohio.

A yearly event organized by Deborah Cipriani and her partner Kevin on their property. We met a lot of friends which we know for year's trough the internet. This was really an exiting experience to meet all the faces behind the written messages. We were very honoured to be the judges of the skunk contest and to present the Dutch medals to the winners.
