Show Rabbits at the Fair
The excitement of showing rabbits at the fair is undeniable. Rabbits are a wonderful choice for many because they are more manageable and require less space than many other types of livestock. The fair offers an opportunity for young people to bond with their animals and learn valuable life skills. Come to the fair this year and watch the fruit of their labor!
In the link below is a few questions to offer a way to provide feedback regarding your Fair experience. Please take a couple of minutes with the exhibitors to find out what they did/not like about Fair this year to help us improve Fair next year.
Club leaders and independent exhibitors - if your exhibitors did not attend at least two rabbit workshops, I need the sheets with their names that show they attended at least two rabbit specific educational meetings, clinics, shows, etc by Friday.![]()
