Ruth Ann Bell picks Caprice for Open BIS "B".

Well, a big afternoon was had by fans of wooly bunnies. The Lehigh Valley R&CBA in Hamburg, Pa. hosted a huge show yesterday. The weather was beautiful, warm and sunny so everyone came out to show. We all had a fun day looking at bunnies, eating cupcakes and talking to all our friends that we don't get to see very often. The friends are the most fun of the bunny shows and all the talking and laughing made me partly loose my voice by mid-afternoon.

The wool reigned for show "B". Eric won the youth show with a beautiful Jersey Woolie chosen by Bob Frizell. He was thrilled and so were his happy Dad and Uncle. A really nice family and a well deserved win. Jersey Woolies don't get picked that often in our area so this was an extra special win.

Tulamores Caprice, a black English Angora doe, won BIS for me in show "B" which was a total surprise. Ruth Ann Bell was the judge and was looking very closely at a beautiful tan that looked to have the win. Caprice is a wonderful doe from Donna McGraw that she has allowed me to show for a very successful show career. Caprice is getting to the end of her show career and will be soon cut down to have babies so this is the icing on the cake for her.

Marcus Rohden won a double BIS with a E.A. REW senior doe up in Michigan the previous weekend and Margaret Barthold won BIS with a E.A. colored senior doe out by her home in St. Louis, Missouri yesterday, also. This must be the month for wool. Go wool!
