Thank You to our Award Sponsors!!
The NALRC National Show is a success every year due largely to the generosity of our membership in sponsoring awards. Each year we ask the membership to step forward and sponsor their favorite varieties as a way for the club to offset the expense of putting on such a large show. Every year the membership amazes us with their generosity. Be sure to check out our Awards Page to see the list of wonderful donors who contributed this year! And don't forget to THANK them! Awards Chair, Tammy Setzke.
Annual Raffle and Hospitality Tables
Each year the club offers a raffle table as a fundraiser at our National Show. We rely heavily on donations from our members for this table to be a success.....we've never been let down. Each year we have amazing donations to this event of unique items to fill our tables. The last several years we've required TWO tables for our raffle, our members have been so generous! Consider bringing an item with you to donate or if you'd like to purchase one at the show there are many rabbit related vendors available on-site as well. We've also offered a hospitality table at the last several National shows. Someplace to grab a cup of coffee (always welcome on Saturday morning!) or a pick-me-up cookie in the afternoon. Again, we rely on the generosity of our members to help ensure that this table has items for exhibitors throughout the day. Please consider bringing a bag or box of goodies or perhaps a case of bottled water. Please contact our Booth Chair, Carol Fry, if you have any questions.
One of a Kind Lionhead Quilt Raffle
In addition to our regular raffle table at Nationals this year, we will also be holding a special raffle of a one of a kind Lionhead Rabbit Quilt. This quilt has been 2 years in the making and is 100% hand-stitched by club member, Peg Smith, based off drawings done by club member, Mary Weber. There will be a special mailing coming out to all club members in the next couple weeks with information on how to secure your chance to win this wonderful piece of art. Tickets will be available at the National show or can be printed on-line and submitted with payment prior to Nationals if you won't be attending. Don't miss your chance at this one of a kind Lionhead Quilt. Print Tickets HERE. Contact Fundraising Chair, Nita Shannon, if you have additional questions.

This will be the second year that the club will be offering Limited Edition (pre-order only) T-Shirts in conjunction with our National Show.

This has become a highly prestigious event and boasts donations from some of the top breeders from around the nation. It is limited to 15 quality animals which are selected by our Live Auction Committee prior to the show and showcased on our website so you can plan ahead for which you'd like to bid on!
