Scenes in the Showroom at Hollister

The show at Hollister is very well attended.   After several days of rain, the sky is clear and blue, a perfect weather for a rabbit show.  

 The building has hardwood floor, clean and easy to roll the carts around.

Rabbit Producers of Santa Clara Valley is one of the oldest rabbit clubs in Northern California.  
At the table, our able secretary Dolores is hard at work while Casey stops by to say Hello.

At the registrar's table, Ben is waiting for rabbits to be registered.   Lauralee is in the process of becoming a registrar.    The nice thing about Northern California/Northern Nevada area is that so many young exhibitors are aspired to becoming judges.   Each year there are many becoming registrars then wait to take the judge's test.      We are looking at two future judges in this area.


 

Judge Johnny and Betty have a photo op.    Both appeared in the "Rabbit Fever" movie.  Johnny is one of the stars in the movie and Betty has an appearance of a few seconds.




Are there some high level conference going on?   From left to right are Doug, James, Ray, Dolores and Randy.

Mission accomplished.
