NCAG Show Results: May 2, 2026 Angora Showing at Petaluma

 

Charlie Visits at Petaluma

NCAG president Charlie comes to visit at Petaluma.   He does not attend shows as often as he'd like to but when the show is not too far from his home, he'll visit.    Comparing to Charlie, us oldies are like midgets!

When Randy comes by to chat with Charlie, they are of similar height.  

Charlie watches Lauralee judging the Satin Angoras.   The Satin Angoras have improved leaps and bounds since the time when Charlie was active in shows.

The English Angora is what Charlie is familiar with, he showed English Angora for over 10 years.
