Remember When: American Fuzzy Lop at 2002 ARBA Convention

Found a High Flying Fuzzy Club old newsletter published on January 1, 2003.  The main report was the results of the 2002 convention at Peoria, IL.   Kendall Green won the youth BOB.  It's almost 20 years ago, Kendall was seen on our blog in June when attending her parent's 50th wedding anniversary:

Allen Mesick was 19 years old, won the open BOB and BOSB at the 2002 ARBA convention with his Fuzzy Lop!   Allen moved to CA from CT the same year.    We last saw him also in June when he judged the NCAG specialty shows:

Allen's Fuzzy Lop doe that won BOB in 2002 went on to win BOB again in the 2003 convention.  It's quite unusual for the same rabbit to win BOB two years in a row in two ARBA conventions.
