WI MCBA Show Pictures

[Laurie]

I became very ill on the Sunday after the show and have not feel well enough until just today to post pics. I am going to be posting several so it would be nice if comments can wait until all pics are posted

Animals before the show--I like to walk around beforehand and snap pics and of course pic my favorite:

This animal was my favorite--it belonged to Baar and was purchased I heard by Ruby who came from Nebraska with her mom

more animals:

Unfortunately this is the only grooming pic I have as we were a bit late getting there and I usually work the registration table and raffle tickets and had to jump right in. I really enjoyed meeting these two and hope too again!

 

[Laurie]

Classification--a job I hope I never have and am also sure I never will!

and the judging begins! Gene Adcock was this year's judge and as always I learned alot from Gene. I'm not sure about other judges, but Gene is very patient and does accept questions from the audience (and awards table) which is something I think rocks!

 

[Laurie]

Nothing is overlooked!

often a tough bunch to judge!

behind the scenes--Jim Ritterspach working hard

One of my favorite pics of the show--Jim and Wendy standing back in the wings watching Gene work

The creams of the crop:

This is NOT a face only a mother can love! What a doll!

And the winners--Grand Champ and Grand Reserve both from Jags:

And the awards!

I'm not prejudiced living in Wisconsin, BUT there is an awesome group of people living here--Brent and Brenda:

Brenda and Wendy:

One of the few times I've ever seen Jim Ritterspach smile! and deservedly so!

Randy and his many trophies:

Finally getting some help from Brenda holding them!

Very nice Laurie, thanks for posting the pics. This was my 2nd time attending the WI MCBA show. I had a great time and learned a lot. The icing on the cake is getting up close to all those great chinnies!

Great pics, and explanations, Laurie! I do have a bundle of pics, and have had a busy week and forgot to post, so I appreciate you doing so. If I get time tomorrow, I'll try to add a few.
