Friends Having a Fun Time at Gridley




Rabbit shows are not just judging and showing, it is also about having friends and having fun.  Shows are not only for compeition but also a social event.  We'll take a break from judging and take a look at the fun times among friends.

Is it raining inside?  No, but it's sure raining outside at Gridley.
