Very big and well filled showroom.

The Richmond show was fun as always but in a new location this year at the Richmond Racetrack. It was a much bigger building then the Firehouse, so there was lots of room to spread out. I did miss the ladies that cook such great Southern food at the Firehouse. There was no food in the showroom so everyone was going across the street to McDonalds. Not quite the same. Better weather then in past years, but that bring many more exhibitors and a much later show. Very tired but I di get to take photos this time. The costume contest was so cute, especially the 2 skunks and the agouti Netherland Dwarf dressed as a Stink Bug. I think the Stink Bug won a prize. It didn't look real happy about winning though.

Donna McGraw was missed at the show but I was able to bring her beautiful bunnies and show them for her.  Her black buck won BOS at both shows with very nice comments from judges, Stacey and Sue. My senior doe sisters shared the day with Iridescence winning BOB in show A and Iris winning BOB in show B. Didn't really have to use the blower, just sat them on the grooming table and let the wind do the work. I also was lucky enough to win BOS Jersey Wooly with Shepherd's Polka Dot Bikini, broken senior doe, in show A and Shepherd's Belladonna, self senior doe in show B. Took a few best of varieties and best opposite of varieties in self and broken classes. A nice way to finish out the show year!
