 We
were welcomed as we arrived at the show site |
| 
The
cooping was very light. The Lionheads were near a large door opening from the
main doors so a lot of folks traveled through and looked at our beautiful rabbits. |
|
 The
Lionheads were cooped so that the cages made a turn around the endcap of the isle. |
| 
One exhibitor set up a grooming table at the end of the Lionhead cooping and others
set up chairs - all of which everyone used during the week. |
|  We
worked hard to keep the Lionhead cooping looking nice. Abby Gibbons MN
was a big help with sweeping. |
|
Through
the front entrance you entered
a
hall that held the breed booths.
The first door to the right entered
the
cooping/show hall with the Lionhead
coops right as you entered.
|
| 
The
club booth was located to the back of the breed booth hall but it seemed everyone
located us just fine. Daniel Szafranski PA and Leeann Good IN
man the booth while Dana Cole CA stops by. |
| |
 The
raffle was a big hit. We made $84.00 this year. Booth chairperson
Leeann Good did a great job. Here she is busy selling tickets. Leeann
spent hours in the booth helping out. Thanks Leeann!! |
| 
The club had two contest/drawings
for the youth. For each picture they
colored or quiz they completed they
received a ticket for a drawing.
Gabby
Armstrong KS won the coloring
contest prize and was very happy! |
| |
The
Lionhead Show was held late on Wednesday
after all the Presentations were
completed.
The show was judged by Ron Riddle with only Tortoise
Lionheads accepted for the show.
BOB and BOS were won by Arden Wetzel, MN.
|  The
classes were large even with only Torts allowed to show! |
|
 The
judge spent a lot of time looking over each Lionhead. Here Dana Cole CA,
need name, and Sandy Wild IL watch
by cages and Harrison Strom IN watches over Arden Wetzel's shoulder in
the back. |

It
was a wonderful time to renew old acquaintances and make
new friends. It was
nice to see new people who didn't make
the Texas Convention in 2006. Everyone
visited and looked at
each others bunnies having fun till Wednesday.
Then
we all watch and waited as Presentation and
then the show progressed.
