Our most anticipated show of the year, PASRBA has become the largest rabbit show in the United States being second to the ARBA Convention, having heard that there were 8,000 rabbits shown on Saturday and probably about the same on Sunday.
This was our third year attending PASRBA, with our first year being 2010 after we started attending shows in the fall of 2009 and picking up our first trio. We only had three rabbits to show. Kenzie had only shown on Saturday that year and Kenzie’s Star had taken BOB in both shows that day. As for PASRBA 2011, it was an awesome year for Kenzie. She walked away with two BOBs and three BOS (one show she had BOB & BOS).
While preparing for our trip this year, Thursday evening, we had a set-back and major disappointment. Our favorite buck, Cody-K17, who had 5 legs, was in prime condition, and ready to show, had died without any warnings or signs of any problems. He had eaten all of his pellets that day and drank his water. We were so disappointed and had a hard time finishing our packing but the show had to go on without him. After talking to one of our favorite judges at PASRBA, he suggested maybe a heart attack and really that’s the only thing that makes sense.
It was a wonderful weekend with friends and all in all Kenzie did fairly well with her rabbits. Saturday’s best were some seconds & thirds with K47 & K46 doing the best and things seemed to turn around on Sunday with K47 getting a BOS and K46 coming in behind her. K50 took first in her Jr. class.
