What a crazy couple of weeks. First Katie took BOB with Cinnamon our gray doe at both Lancaster shows on the 21st. We were shocked and proud, but it made for a very long day. We didn't left the show till 7pm and still had a 2hour drive home, and since we had left at 5:30am to get there we were all tired. It was fun to watch Katie show in the BOB competition though.
The next weekend we went to the state dutch club's fall show in Zainesville. We almost didn't go cause it was a 2 1/2 hour drive and getting up at 5 am just didn't sound appealing since we figured being up against big breeders and people who had been doing this much longer than us, that we stood no chance at any placement. We were wrong and very glad we drug ourselves out of bed. Katie took best opposite sex in the youth class with Cinnamon yet again. It was such an honor, and a win that will be hard to repeat. Beginners luck I guess. It was so cool to watch the big time breeders come congratulate our daughter. She even got her picture taken for the website. Then we had an awesome lunch put on by the club, which we are now members of, and had a good time listening to all the breeders sound off at the board meeting. It was truly an amazing experience.

Highland County Fair 2010 Showmanship
What does it take to win 3rd in over all showmanship when you are a first year 4H kid?
Our daughter would tell you.....
It takes two very dedicated 4H advisors that quiz you for hours on questions, but treat you like an adopted daughter,
and great 4H friends that also give you a little competition,
oh and don't forget those parents that quiz you with questions and drive you to meetings.
It may not look like it but it was a long hard road to make it to the 8yr old showmanship table
It is hard to get up in front of a grandstand full of people and answer questions to a judge
Presenting a rabbit involves knowing everything you possibly can
After winning at the 8yr old level you then move on to compete against the winners of the 9,10,&11 year old classes (the winners of the 9 & 10yr old class are club mates too)
After winning the 8-11 yr old division you then move on to compete against the winners of the three older divisions. As you can tell it can be intimidating to an 8yr old among all those towering teenagers, but so sweet when you place third among them.
to back track a little 2 class winners and 4H buddies
enjoying showing off their trophies.
A true showman after a long hard road with her beloved bunny and trophies.
