Show catalogs will be sent to all NALRC members in early March.  If you are not an NALRC member and would like to receive a catalog, email  your request to the show catalog editor, Jennifer Hack:  jenniferhack@embarqmail.com

AWARDS INFORMATION:
The NALRC sponsors the Best of Breed award in both Open and Youth.  They also provide 1st place rosettes for all classes and flat ribbons for 2-5th place.  As a way to keep entry fees low and still provide a nice selection of awards, the club solicits donations for several other awards given at the National Show. All award donors who sponsor awards prior to February 1st, get a listing in our show catalog as well as a link to their rabbitry website/email on our club website.  We will still accept award donations after the February 1st deadline, but cannot guarantee a listing in the show catalog.  Donors will still receive recognition on the club website with a link to their rabbitry website/email.  All donations appreciated.  Only awards that have a sponsor will be awarded.  Click HERE for more information on how to become an award donor.

LIVE AUCTION INFORMATION:
In conjunction with our annual National Exhibition Show, the NALRC will also host it’s annual Live Rabbit Auction.  This is the club’s one major fundraiser of the year.  Proceeds from this event help cover club expenses while still allowing us to keep membership fees affordable.  Donations to this event will be accepted through April  15th, with 15 animals being selected by the Live Auction Committee by April 22nd.   The Live Auction will take place immediately following the completion of the National Show on May 2nd, 2009.  For a complete list of Live Auction Rules, Click HERE.
