2023 ARBA Brooklin Fair Show
 |
| The rabbit show tent under the hazy wild fires sky |
This show was dedicated to remembering Dave Grandy who sadly passed away last month. A long time member of the rabbit community as well as the person responsible for organizing the rabbit show at the Brooklin fair.
Our colored juniors stayed home this time while our white team was out in full force. This time around every one was showing in the Sr classes and there were no juniors at the show.

| The show getting started |
For boys we brought Electric Iroc, BerMah Maurice, and Electric Uncle Buck. For girls we brought Electric Unity and our "old" lady Electric Melody. Having just finished raising and fostering 13 babies she was very much not in competitive form but she came out to get officially registered. The other person showing with us was Mary (Meg's Fancy Bunnies). She brought two boys, BerMah Misty and Fancy Elvis, and two girls: BerMah MyMy and Fancy Pricilla. Once again this was a close competition with most of these rabbits being very closely related to each other.

| Judge John Richter evaluating the New Zealands |
Our day started off with the news that we had no power in our show tent! That meant that for the first show we could not use our high velocity blowers to properly groom any of the contenders! We were hoping that the issue would be resolved but that did not happen in time for the first show and so the rabbits were judged as they have arrived coming out of their transport carriers.

| Judge Joe Colucci taking his time to evaluate the EAs |
Under judge Joe Colucci from Ohio BerMah MyMy handled by Mary took BOV and BOB, while our Electric Uncle Buck took BOSV and BOSB earning him the 3rd leg which he needed to qualify for his Grand Champion title. Yay!
In the 2nd show under judge John Richter, BerMah MyMy once again took BOV and BOB, while Mary's Elvis got BOSV and BOSB.

| Local 4H club came out to watch and learn, they love Melody! |
As always, this was a very fun show with lots of fair action happening outside of our tent and plenty of people visiting the rabbits and asking lots and lots of questions.
