It's the St Patrick's Show, You Got the Wrong Color!

 

 

 

Betty wears red, Carol wears fuchsia and pink; the two ladies do not understand the appropriate color for the St. Paddy's day.
 

Superintendent Chris has a photo taken with Betty while getting photo-bombed.  Chris and Betty entered the wonderful world of rabbits at about the same time over 34 years ago and they have something in common: each has won a Best In Show at the ARBA convention.  Betty's convention Best In Show win was in 1992 and Chris is the reigning Best In Show winner.  
 

French Angora HGF Ben gets a lot of love from Kevin, Carol and Betty.
