2012 Ca State Show, Sacramento, CA Jan 21-22, 2012

[Shahna]

Not to late to buy your animal raffle tickets. Delivery to Nationals is a possibility (send me a PM or e-mail to work out the details). Contact me prior to noon on Saturday to buy tickets via Paypal. The animals will be raffled off at the banquet.

These are the animals donated:

- Darkstar Standard Male: I haven't actually seen this boy, but from the sounds of it he is spectacular!

- Standard Female Donated by Sumiko (Chinchilla Chateau).

- Standard Male from Sarah out of two Bowen GSC's (a 1st place animal).

- Black Velvet Male out of two very nice Somavia parents. (RIDG A-17: there is a picture on my for sale thread).

I missed my edit window...

I have had a few questions on how the animal raffle will happen. The first ticket pulled will get first choice of their animal, 2nd ticket pulled will get 2nd choice, and so on.

If you will not be at the show, when you PM me with the number of tickets you wish to purchase, please include a list in order of preference for the animals you would like.

For those of you attending the show, tickets may be purchased up until 5 minutes prior to the drawing.

The standard female I am donating is out of a Dark Star sire and one of my best-producing females in terms of breedability and litter size. She took 1st place at the '11 State Show and Reserve Class Champion at the CA Spring Show '11. Judges comments were "tight fur, good conformation, good belly and veiling. Nice type female." She should be a very good breeder for whoever wins her. I have been very pleased with all her sisters I have kept.

My daughter Livvy and I should get to the hotel around 6. Will there be someone in the show hall at that time that can help us get our chins situated?

Looking forward to it! Safe travels, everyone.
