A Big Step Down? Not!
Convention is still fresh on my mind with its dozens of judges, acres of showroom, and thousands of rabbits. Tomorrow, I will be attending a show that is about one hour and twenty minutes from my house. With it's half dozen judges, modest showroom, and less than 1000 rabbits, you might think that is a big step down.
Nope, I don't think so.
Sure, Convention has its unique qualities and I don't plan to ever miss one if I can help it. I love seeing folks I only get to see once in a while. I love the competition. I love having judges especially chosen for their skill in Hollands. I love the traveling (and the getting back home). I enjoy the banquet. I love looking all of the Hollands and browsing the other breeds.
But going to this local show tomorrow will be like coming home. There will be people there that are real friends - you know, the type that would stick up for you or tell you the truth about yourself in the kindest possible way. And, there will be other friendly faces to chat with, say hello to, or just share a quick smile with.
I have some work to do in terms of an upcoming show. I've got some nice pets to sell. And I'm showing five different seniors that each need just their senior leg to grand. (It would be nice to get a leg on one of them.) Then, there's a club meeting after the show. All in all, it's a lot to look forward to.
Oh, and I'm showing my senior buck silver fox - against competition! Last time, it was just me and my two bunnies. This time, there will be two bunnies also, but this time, from different exhibitors. What fun!
My fun starts in just a little while when a girlfriend arrives to spend the night. I see some bunny talk in my near future!
I hope that your weekend holds a really fun rabbit show for you wherever you are.
