This show is one of the most simplest shows in the state. Super easy, single show. Let's not forget, there are ZERO entry fees! One single ARBA Open Show. No entry fee, no premium from the fairgrounds, just legs.
This time around we brought only 9 rabbits with us. Only rabbits needing legs. Yes, this did include some 10 week old juniors. Why not? Its nice to get some opinions on them from others before I make my own choice of whom will stay. There was enough entered for Best of Breed and Best Opposite of Breed legs. With a total of 5 exhibitors, we were able to obtain those legs! Hilltop's Habanero a Chocolate Sr buck earned his 3rd and granding leg placing Best Opposite of Breed and BHMB Say Good Bye a Broken (Tri) Sr Doe earned her 2nd leg by placing Best Of Breed. No photos were taken, this show was quick. We arrived at 9ish and watched 4H Market before the ARBA open started. Best In Show was chosen by 1pm and we were on the road to home! I don't know about you, but to me, the State Fair show has a whole different feel to it than a basic ARBA show. Maybe its the energy coming from the grounds, and the smell of fried fair food. Who knows.
This was my second year being the secretary for the Montana State Fair ARBA Show. I can tell you that helping organize a fair show is so much different than organizing your local club shows! There is a gap between fair and official ARBA shows, and I am slowly but surely attempting to fill that gap in. We only brought 11 rabbits this year to show as most of the does where at home with litters, and the litters were too young to be placed on the table. Only a couple legs were earned. Ch. BHMB Oblivion earned a BOV leg and BHMB Wish You The Best earned herself a class leg out of 6. Once again my friend Chris Mackprang drove up from Wyoming to attend the show and brought some beautiful buns! Not only did he win BOB on both tables, but he went on to pull a double Best In Show! Another fantastic fair for Mini Lops! Hoppin Hearts Sweet Dreams takes Best of Breed at the Montana State Fair winning her 3rd and Granding leg under judge Lawrence Weeks  GML Brooklyn earns a Best of Breed at the Western Montana ARBA Sanctioned Fair Show in Missoula Montana!  Rainy Day's Renegade takes home a rosette at the Western Montana Fair!  Keliesa was super excited to win her very first Best of Breed with her favorite doe Swan Valley's Dixie at the Montana State Fair under her favorite Judge: Jake Kuntz! What an amazing weekend! So proud of my girl!  |
