Gathering of 'Legends'

 

 

 

 

There is a gathering at the lobby of the headquarter hotel in the evening of the opening day, Saturday October 31, 2015.

What is it all about?
 

Everyone in this photo is a convention Best In Show winner.    Doug Harrah (in red tie) starts the tradition of the convention Best In Show winners to gather at the evening of the opening day.   He gives a name for this event: "Gathering of Legends".
 

Doug Harrah on the right is the Best In Show winner of the 2013 convention at Harrisburg, Brad and Katie Boyce are the 2002 convention Best In Show winner.   Both Doug and Brad grew up in Indiana and joined the same 4 H club but during a different time period.

Fast Forward to Monday, November 2, 2015, Brad and Katie Boyce win Best In Show again in this convention at Portland.
 

Betty is here with Jim Bayliss.  It's a reunion of a sort: in 1992 Betty's English Angora won 4-class and Jim's Satin won 6-class, then Betty's English Angora went on to win the Best In Show in the 1992 convention at Columbus, OH.  

One year later, Jim's Satin won 6-class again and went on to win the Best In Show in at the 1993 Tacoma convention in WA.
