2010 UARC Specialty Show

I left this morning at 5:15 am for Marietta, OH having agreed to serve as show superintendent for the annual UARC Specialty Show. The superintendent's job is mostly in name only as the show secretary ends up with all the paperwork and such (thanks Lisa!). Our show consisted of a check-in station, raffle table and angora wool display and there were actually three shows today with Blennerhasset and Jackson's local clubs also hosting in the same location. It was a long day but I enjoyed visiting with fellow rabbit enthusiasts and spending time with my rabbits; it was also productive from the standpoint of obtaining some wins that I really wasn't expecting since I felt that my rabbits weren't at their best in regard to their length and condition of their coats. In any case Garnet was Best of Breed in the specialty show which finished her grand champion status and she was also Best Opposite of Breed in the Blennerhasset show which got her an extra leg and a cute little glass pumpkin. Blackberry and Ryan took Best of Breed and Best Opposite of Breed respectively in the Jackson show and they each earned a leg as juniors along with trophies and ribbons. After the show I had dinner, complete with a slice of the most heavenly chocolate peanut butter pie, with a friend at a popular local restaurant, and then I drove home in the pouring rain. Overall not a bad day! :-)
