Sandhills Rabbit Fanciers Show, Greensboro, NC, September 17, 2005
I had a lot of fun at the show today. It was a long day and I'm tired, but I got home at a reasonable hour and no motel bill was involved. So that was very nice.
In show A, Camelot's Merlin was BOV. Eleven of the 12 rabbits I showed, placed. And a "The Nature Trail's" rabbit shown by a friend knocked my 12th rabbit just out of placement range. Oh well. If you have to be beaten, it's nice to know it's by one of your own homegrown bunnies.
In show B, The Nature Trail's Brook, who kindled just a week ago, was BOS. The Nature Trail's Purdy was BOSV for brokens. All 12 rabbits placed.
In show C, Camelot's Merlin was again BOV. Eleven of the 12 rabbits I showed, placed.
Congratulations to Lukeman & Buchenauer for their 3 BOB's and 2 BOS wins. I also heard "Holland Lop" called at the BIS table a couple of times, but I'm not sure whether it was BRIS or what. It was sure to be something good, though.
The best part of the day was going out for a bite to eat after the show with friends. I asked my daughter Anna what she liked most about the day and she said, "Being with my friends." I agree.
I also enjoyed being assistant show secretary for the very first time. Now that I see how hectic things can be during check-in, I will be sure to be patient and pleasant when I check my rabbits in at future shows!
I'll be showing in Shelby, NC, and Columbia, SC, next weekend
