Everyone looks forward to PASRBA. It is the break from winter that we all enjoy. For most rabbit people, it is the first show of the new year. (Unless you are crazy like me and travel to Rochester and to Maine in January). PASRBA is a true mini Convention. Most years in central Pennsylvania, there is snow but we go anyway, including the year we had over three feet of the white stuff when we came out to go to the showroom on Saturday morning.
This year, with over 8,000 bunnies there on Saturday due to the really nice weather predicted, the four showrooms were full of people and bunnies. The layout changed this year. The fuzzy breeds were always located in a "wool room". This made everyone happy as all the Angoras, Jersey Woolies, Fuzzy Lops and Lion Heads were located together. We loved this as all the friends were together and we kept the fuzz and blower noise in one location.
This year the wonderful crew at PASRBA gave us a new and bigger wool room and it was great. Plenty of room to move, lots of tables to put cages on, wall space and outlets for blowers and all of our Open, Youth and Specialty Judging tables in one central location. I personally loved it and thanked the crew over and over again. It makes a big difference not to have to run all over the place with different wool breeds, especially when showing two breeds at two Open and two Specialty shows each day. I will add more photos in the next few blog posts but I thought you would enjoy my car packed with 27 bunnies and all that goes with them.
Plus, congrats to Charlotte Shwiekart (sp?) and her beautiful Pointed White French Angora won Best in Show Open against 8,000 bunnies and also Best in Specialty Show on Saturday. We are always so happy to see the wool win! GO WOOL!
