Showroom Scenes at Hollister

 
 
 
 

Our wonderful show secretary Dolores.

 

 
There are lots of great stuff on the raffle table.
 

KW cages have a nice booth.
 


This showroom is built on wood; it has hardwood floor, solid wood panels, and the exposed ceiling beams are also made of wood.    It's beautiful and large.

 
Even though there are 800-1000 rabbits and 12 judging stations in the showroom, it does not feel overcrowded.    The sad thing is that we may not be having shows in this nice showroom anymore as the cost is getting to be too high.  A one day rental is in the range of $1200-1500 with site fee, insurance and the per hour security fee.
