Fort Worth Convention Center

The ARBA convention was held at the Fort Worth convention center in downtown Fort Worth. Within two blocks is the Hilton which is the headquarter hotel. This hotel used to be called Hotel Texas, where JFK stayed in 1963 just before he was assassinated.

The first photo shows Casey stands in the front of the convention center. Betty and Casey were walking from the hotel to the convention center when this photo was taken. It was a short and pleasant walk each day.

The second photo shows the English Angora corner in the show room. From left to right is Betty, Chris O. from MA, Vicki J. and Deb B., both from MN. Most of the English Angora coops were single stacked, probably due to the ample showroom space and limited number of Angora entries.

The third photo shows the American Fuzzy Lop corner opposite to the Angora coops. All the wool breeds were close to the door. There was an area outside the door fenced off for grooming and blowing.

The fourth photo shows the rest of the normal fur breeds. They were located in an area that was separated from the wool breeds by a walkway where the restrooms and the concession stand located. Most of the vendors and the ARBA booths were located with the normal fur breeds.
