Easter at the Fair?

Twitching noses, thumping paws, and nervous children can only mean one thing...no it's not Easter in October, it's the annual 4-H Rabbit Show at the Robeson Regional Agricultural Fair. More than a dozen youth had the opportunity to show their furry friends and let judge Glen Privette question, look, and handle rabbits in mid-air and chose the best of the best. During the pre-show conference, judge Privette gave our senior showman the opportunity to show their leadership skills by assisting our Cloverbuds, those 5-8 year old's develop their show skills in the ring.
Joseph Hardee, Logan Spivey, and Ashley Rogers entered the ring with their adorable bunnies and each got a few minutes with the judge to learn the tips they will need to be top competitors when they turn nine. After speaking with the judge they each walked out of the ring with their bunnies and a trophy for their hard work and initiative.
Anthony Bullard and his rabbit Rex hopped home with the blue ribbon in the Junior Division. Ally Spivey and Jordan Rogers received a red and white ribbon respectively for their efforts raising and showing their rabbits respectively.
In our Senior Division, the competition was fierce. Judge Privette walked up and down the line several times trying to determine the placings. When it was all said and done Triton Bullard placed first, Allen Monk took second while Joshua Snodgrass placed third. Kelsey Bullard received a participants ribbon for her efforts as well.
Congratulations to all of our participants!
