Showroom Scene and Lucky Raeberta at King City

Central Coast RCBA sponsors triple all breed shows at King City, CA on Saturday, October 4, 2025.

The shows are held in a big animal barn at the Salinas Valley Fairgrounds.     The ground is in soil, easy on feet but a bit dusty.

The eletrical outlets are only available at a small booth area, so the Angoras take over that area.  
Seen here are the Satin Angoras.

Here are some of the English Angoras.

Some of the French Angoras.

The booth is a bit too small to house all the wool breeds, some of the English Angoras and all the American Fuzzy Lops are set up at the exterior edge of the booth.   Four Britannia Petites join the wool breeds.  

To encourage exhibitors to join the Central Coast RCBA, there is a competition for members who are already members and those who join at the show.   Members each can select a rabbit of their own choice to compete for $100.    

Melissa Magee is the judge.

Mid Autumn Festival Celebration 2025

The 15th day of the 8th month on the Lunar calendar is the Chinese Mid Autumn Festival; in 2025 this date falls on October 6, that is today!  Mid Autumn Festival is one of the most important festivals in the Chinese culture.   In China, this is an 8-day holiday period where the families gather together to celebrate.  The importance of the festival rivals the Lunar New Year.  

 

Bunnies celebrate Mid Autumn Festival. 
Our blog has made posts about this Chinese festival each year.   The story behind it has been told many times, see one:  Northern California Angora Guild: Mid Autumn Festival 2015

Betty's good friend Shyun is so kind to gift her a box of moon cakes.  The two on the right side are the traditional kind.   The two on the left are a modified version, could be considered as moon cakes but they can also be considered regular flakey pastries.

Betty brought one of the traditional mooncakes to the show at King City to share, this is the first time a moon cake makes an appearance in a rabbit show.   The moon cake is yummy but very sweet and dense, usually one only eats a small slice as a treat.  

Casey and Carol say, mmmmmm good.

Casey and Betty say it's good.

Carol gets a small second slice.

 

Carolyn Visits at Placerville

One of the fun things in shows is to have friends visiting.  Placerville is about an hour away from Davis, Carolyn comes to visit. 

Carolyn take a nice picture of Betty with Raeanna. 

Carolyn holds Regal.   Carolyn has Regal’s brother Renner at home.  Both brother are sweet and handsome.  

Carolyn shows off a new scarf she just completed.   It is made of commercially spun French Angora yarn.  

The color of this yarn is vibrant, it’s not easy for a home dye to achieve this color.  Carolyn knitted it in a feather pattern, it is quite time consuming.
