:bump1:

Let's get those bunnies dusted!!! Only a week and a half left!!!

Who's planning on coming???

 

[Riven]

JoEllen will be there, I'm still undecided, it will depend on how much homework I can get done before then!

 

[Lynn & The Chins]

Nicole you can do your homework in the car and maybe even at the show!!!

OK -- weather update: Yes, we had a dusting of snow last night, but the temps are expected to be in the high 40s-50s through the weekend!!!

This means that you should have smooth sailing!!! I hope to see a lot of you there...

Can I get a quick show of hands if you're planning on coming???

Only 3 more days to get those show bunnies into great show shape!!!

 

[Lynn & The Chins]

Is anyone bringing any Blue Cloud???

If so, I would like to get 5 pounds, please.

 

[Riven]

My school schedule is not going to allow me to come. But JoEllen and her family will be there!

If you don't get Cloud there Lynn, Snickers will be bringing some to Nationals.

 

[Lynn & The Chins]

Bummer, Nicole!!! You'd better be at Nationals!!! Good luck at school...

I'll look forward to seeing JoEllen.

Thanks for the tip...I'll place an order with Nan if I can't get any on Saturday :thumbsup:

 

[Riven]

You'll have to see, she said they might be bringing a different vehicle and doesn't know how much room they'll have. I'm sure enough for you, I was wanting 8 bags between JoEllen and I so that's a bit different, lol.

 

[Lynn & The Chins]

We're off!!!

Small turnout...only 8 exhibitors, 68 standards and 49 mutations. All gorgeous!!!

 

[jags]

Sorry to see another small show. Might be less shows in the future if participation keeps being so low. Good luck to all those that are in attendance!

 

[Riven]

Hope everyone does awesome and wish I could be there! Been working on homework all flipping day. Only had 4 animals to show, but it would've been four more!

 

[Kylelemler]

Good luck to everyone and keep us updated!

 

[jags]

THANKS TO EVERYONE who helped and worked so hard!!! We couldn't have done it without you ALL!!!

 

[Kylelemler]

Okay! Thank you Lynn!

Now for some pictures! Just kidding, kinda. I know someone will post later after editing or when they get time.

But I wonder if that was the same pink white that won in Michigan the week before?!

 

[jags]

Nope, the one from Michigan did not even go.

 

[Kylelemler]

Wow! Jim has some really nice whites.

 

[jags]

He has nice animals in all colors and it sounded like, from what I heard as I have not seen all the results yet, he had all the color class champions and reserves except one class champion and one reserve in the mutation show.

 

[Lynn & The Chins]

Yes, he pretty much swept the mutes!!! That white was SOOO perfect and smooth, it looked like a cloud!!! That's what I called it when I first saw it before the show...I just knew that it would win something!!!
