Pennsylvania 4-H State Achievement Days is held at Penn State University and is a big deal in PA. 
There is a rabbit/cavy competition with a knowledge bowl, written test and hands-on challenges.
I do the rabbit/cavy bowl questions and did part of the written test this year and am working on the written test for next year.
We are looking to improve the info and keep it fresh and exciting for the participating youth.
Rabbit 4-H youth are very competitive in PA, and it's hard to trip them up

I need feedback from those who have participated in the competition over this past week.
All questions are taken from the ARBA Standard of Perfection and Guidebook and have to be referenced in the answer key. The competition includes both rabbit and cavy info.
