Shyun Visits Betty at San Jose

Betty got a visitor at the San Jose show. Shyun lives in Cupertino, just a stone-throw away. It is unusual to have such a close by location for a rabbit show, she comes by to visit.

I started teaching at SJSU in 1974, have had many wonderful students and made many friends. Shyun maintains the longevity record. Shyun was in my graduate Economics classes around 1980-1981, we found out that we had a common interest: animals. After I got my first French Lop in 1981 and had a litter in 1982, Shyun asked to have one as a pet and she has rabbits as pets since. She and her children visited my home and shows off and on, their photos appear on our blog quite a few times. In some photos, her children were still kids, now they are all adults and have their own families. She has been an accomplished CPA after receiving her master's degree from SJSU, now near retirement. Time flies.

Youth Dress Up Contest at San Jose Show

At the CRCS shows on Saturday, there is a youth dress up contest to give kids another fun activity in addition to showing rabbits. This fun thing is staged during the lunch break.

Kids are very enthusiastic about the activity. On the left are Salene Durate and Rick Porter of the Fair office taking photos and watching the kids having a good time. The emcee is Jason.

Jason T. is the superintendent of the rabbit show as well as the emcee of the dress up contest.

Jason is a natural to emcee such a fun activity, kids enjoy it, and we had a good time watching it.

Salene on the left is instrumental in getting the rabbit shows back to the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds at San Jose. Finding Jason to work as the super and emcee is definitive a plus for the show. This is the first time Jason works as a rabbit show superintendent, he is better than a lot of seasoned supers.
