Western Frontier Rabbit & Cavy Shows Presents Three Open All Breed Rabbit Shows & Three Open Cavy Shows November 15, 2014 Wheeler Pavilion, Lane Co Fairgrounds 796 W 13th AVE, EUGENE, OR 97402 These are benefit shows to support the A.R.B.A NATIONAL CONVENTIONin Portland, Oregon in 2015. Come out and support the effort to bring the “super-bowl of the rabbit and cavy world” to your back yard! What is a benefit show? A benefit show is put on to raise funds for an event or subject. In this case, the 2015 ARBA Convention. It takes a lot of fundraising to produce a convention. All the up-front expenses must be paid in advance of any entry fees being collected. Judges donate their time at significantly reduced prices and exhibitors supply any breed sanctions they desire. Awards are generally less substantial than some other shows, so as to generate more revenue to the cause. The Western Frontier Rabbit and Cavy Shows has been formed specifically to bid and host the ARBA convention. See our Facebook page for updates and information. ~ RABBIT JUDGES ~ TED DELOYOLA – OR GEORGE GERMAINE –WA KELLI SLACK- OR CHARMAINE WARDROP – WA VALERIE UPTAGRAFT-WA CATHY SZYCHULDA – CA ROGER HASSENPFLUG-OR TOM KEYES – OR JAN COFFELT- WA MICHELLE UPTAGRAFT- WA TRACY GOUETTE – CA JESSICA MATHESON–WA ZACH HOLTMEYER–WA CINDY WICKIZER- WA Other Judges TBA ~ CAVY JUDGES ~ TRACY IVERSON– OR JASON WHITEHURST-OR PENNY DEGGLEMAN-OR Building opens at 6:30 am Saturday morning Judging begins at 8:00 am SUPERINTENDENT: BOB BIRMAN RABBIT SECRETARY (ALL SHOWS): Arlyse DeLoyola, PO Box 1465, Cave Junction OR 97523 Email: [email protected] CAVY SECRETARY: (ALL SHOWS): Terri Geroux, 333 Hillhouse Ave, Medford, OR 97504 Email: [email protected] ** Terri and Arlyse will not be home until night of the 10th.
