What Happens to Betty?




What happens? Why is Betty hidden?   Betty has a new experience after having gone to shows for over 40 years.   Got to share the experience but too regretful that no photo was taken:

I got two motorcycle cops flashing their lights to escort my van to get into the fairgrounds at Santa Maria!!!

It was a 200-mle 3-1/2 hour drive from my home to Santa Maria on Saturday, June 1 to attend the Central Coast RBA shows.   I exited freeway and drove toward the fairgrounds.  Unbeknownst to the show people there was a horse riding parade going on and the starting point was next to the fairgrounds.  Every single street leading to the fairgrounds was blocked off at the time I arrived at Santa Maria, and many others encountered the same issue.    I drove around for 30-40 minutes not knowing what's going on, and my GPS kept on sending me to the streets that were blocked off.    I saw a police car with a flashing light and I asked for help.   Two motorcyles cops drove by, they agreed to escort my van to the fairgrounds.   With two motorcyle cops turning on flashing lights leading the way clearing the blockades and the waiting lines of horse trailers, I was able to drive onto the fairgrounds.  Feeling and looking like a VIP but I was too flustered to enjoy this treatment and did not remember to take photos to memoralize this once-in-a-lifetime experience.   

Other exhibitors and judges all had stories to tell about how they eventually got into the showroom but mine was one of the tops. 




I am in the showroom, got rabbits groomed and ready to be shown.   I am HAPPY!
