New Year's Eve Show in Indiana

Randy is in Indiana spending Christmas and New Year with his family.

Every year he judges a show on New Years Eve for the Huntington County Exhibition Rabbit Promoters. The show was started nearly 20 years ago by the late ARBA president Dr Terry Reed and Randy. It was the first of its kind. The first year there was about 600 rabbits and the show has grown to 2500 rabbits in some of the years.

There was a snowstorm going on this year, there was still a nice turnout of 1800 rabbits. There was nearly 6 inches of snowfall during the show itself. There were exhibitors from 6 or 7 states. All of the 200+ exhibitors brought dishes for the potluck dinner and it was a huge holiday feast! Families love it as a good wholesome alternative to the regular New Year activities.

Randy took pictures of the winners of Satin Angora and English Angora. The Satin Angora was shown by NARBC president Judy, it was VERY nice, in Randy’s words. The English Angora owner is a new breeder- Gina of South Bend, IN. It’s a big accomplishment for a new breeder to have won the Best of Breed. Congratulations to both.
