Convention was awsome. You've got proof I was in the Polish area. :shock:

Anyone know when ARBA posts the results or do clubs do it on thier web sites? I'm dying to know AFL results!

The club that put on the show are selling result books but I'm not sure how to obtain one now that convention is over.

For Open American Fuzzy Lops......
Brian Hartzell had 6 of the 8 rabbits on the table going up for BOB andBOS, the 2 that weren't his were rabbits he had sold. Brain ended uptaking BOB and BOS for Open AFL's.

*Edit* If I recall right he also took BOB for Jersey Woolies.

Ah, thanks for the news.

Seems like a little more competition would have been more exciting. There is always next year!

It looks like it was a great time! Wish I had more vacation days from work so I could go!

Go if you can, it's a wonderful experience! This year the BIS rocked!It was done in a building attached to the open room where there wasstage seating. The 2 judges were on stage with a big screenthat showed them as they posed up each animal. It was great! Plus theydid a slide show of Glenn Carr's rabbit career right before he walkedup on stage. :?

It just comes down to the "Hoosiers put on a great show!".
