Setting Up In Sheep Stalls

Showing in a venue with public access has pros and cons. The pluses are to show off our beautiful animals and possibly marketing some of our Angora creations; the minuses are that the public all want to touch our beautiful animals and get in the way when we need to take rabbits to and from being judged. At the Sonoma Marin RA show in the Harvest Fair, most of the exhibitors are set up in stalls for goats and sheep inside an area that is surrounded by chain link fence. Public get to see our rabbits but they don't get to touch the rabbits.

Jennabella is sitting on the grooming table waiting to go into the show ring, she does not have to dodge the unwanted hands from the general public.

With the electric outlet so close to the stalls, grooming is easy. Jennabella is getting blown to prepare for the show table. Jennabella is a gorgeous white doe but she has a very hard time competing with Lilianna that is an exceptional white doe.

The good arrangement is also a bad arrangement, none of the public get to see and touch Betty's yarn and hats thus no sales.

Those spectators are intrigued by what's going on inside the chain link fence.
