2022 ARBA Show at Rockton Fairgrounds

 

The first ARBA show of this year held at the Rockton Fairgrounds just outside of Hamilton was a great success for our breed. We had a total of 4 exhibitors come out (including myself) which is possibly the biggest turn out for this breed in years. All 4 of us are new to showing and we all had a great time. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and their rabbits again next month and keeping fingers crossed we might see a couple of extra faces. 

Between all of us, we had 11 English Angoras out on the judging tables: 3 Jr Whites, 1 Sr White, 5 Junior Colored, and 2 Senior Colored. I am happy to say that the Best of Breed winners for all 3 shows plus the Breed Specialty were all Electric rabbits!
