Highland County Fair 2011


Here is Katie with Milkshake, her showmanship rabbit, and all of her trophies and ribbons from this years fair.
Katie did excellent again this year at the fair. She won 1st place in the 9 year old showmanship division, then won 1st place among the 8 to 11 year old class winners in showmanship, then went on the win second overall in showmanship sweeps. Loosing first place to a senior.
Next she won 1st place in her weight division with her market rabbit and got to sell 10th this year instead of 57th like last year.
She did well in the junior fair show. Her black doe Fuji was competitive until the very end. She lost BOS to our good friends black junior doe. The judges said the junior just had a better coat, cause ours was on the verge of molting. We couldn't have been happier with our placements for our 2nd year at the fair and our first year breeding our own rabbits. Everything, with the exception of Milkshake the showmanship rabbit, were rabbits that we had bred. We were very proud of that fact.
Drake competed this year in peewee showmanship with his holland lop, Catcher.
Even though all the kids got trophies the judge told us he scored 20/20 points.
