Osceola Show A & B
Went up to Evart MI this pass weekend for a rabbit show. Wonderful time by all. I had a bast driving up with my friend Rena and Kathy and her son Brandon, who won his first Best of Breed Mini Rex in Youth.
We set up our Angora Camp out door. It was cold in the early morning. There was no room for grooming table and chairs and for good reason people where taking up to much room and they had to make people stack there cages. So the rabbits liked the fresh air and sunshine we had yesterday. Ron Coldwell , Deb Syder and group and myself where there with English angoras and Deb had her French Angoras. It was a really well run show and we where done by 5pm.

" Nice animals but the English Angora is 4 class today"
Then had to get her ready for the Best In Show. It was on the other end of the show room so had to get her ready and run to the end of the show room. Who did I see putting up there rabbit form Best 6 class D Howe and He has knock out Califorias that make your jaw drop.

Michigan 4 H Show
Went to the Michigan State 4-H show these pass weekend. Thoughts about the show, it was a really well run show for the 4-Hs and the Youth. A lot of new people getting into rabbits and it is always a wonderful thing to see. I remember myself at the age of 16 getting my first angora and all the work that went into them and I learned from some great people about if you want better animals you have to work at it and not be afraid to cull.
On the other hand a lot of people that need to be educated about rabbits. It was so nice to see us Michigan Angora members there to do so about our breeds. Saw some animals that made me think why would an adult sell to a youth and not educate them in the breed. Trying to make a fast dollar isn't the way to do it.
In my mind I'm not there to make a fast dollar off a kid or any person. In my mind if I wont keep it for my breeding program then it goes as a pet to someone or a spinner or other.
