2015 Marion County Fair

Once again I had a great fair!

It was a tricky fair though. It got up to heat index values of 110 degrees. Another problem was lack of fan coordination. There were fans pointing straight down which caused the hot air to be sucked down. Also there were other fans pointed in opposite directions which caused no air flow. We learned that next year we need to have better fan coordination. We think we have the problem solved!

The heat was very tough, especially, as some rabbits died from the heat. The rabbits were hot during the show too, which made them mad. The good thing is that all my rabbits made it through the fair, and they behaved okay through the show. I did have to switch rabbits right before showmanship it because the heat made my first one mad. I just hope it is cool at state fair!

I got 2 whites for my senior buck and doe, 2 reds for my other senior buck and doe, best of breed for my jr. doe, and best opposite for my jr. buck! I also got Champion Intermediate Showman. I was exited that I got best of breed.

2014 Marion County Fair

I showed some rabbits at county fair.  I liked doing showmanship even though I got bit and scratched doing it. The rabbit was scared. This is how I did:
  • Pen of 3 = 3rd place
  • Individual fryers = 4th, 5th, and special recognition
  • Senior bucks = 1st, 2nd, and best of breed
  • Senior does = 1st and 2nd
  • Junior Showmanship = Champion

Rabbit Pictures

These are some pictures that I took of my bunnies. I took them to fair.

The different colors are because Champagne De' Argents are born black and then they gradually change to silver!
This one got a blue and outstanding 4th grade ribbon
