I drove the 500+ miles to Ladson, SC where there was a triple rabbit show going. I was hoping ahead of time to find some Blue Havana's to make the trip worth while. I was thinking that both Nancy and Joan would also go and we would have a good turn out for Havana's. Nancy ended up not going and Joan brought a limited number of rabbit's. With the help of Nancy I was able make contact with Herb Kelso in Camden, SC. He had both a buck and a doe but the does where young and he wanted me to call back towards the end of July. So I called back July 30th and he confirmed he had a Jr blue buck and a blue doe. He also asked since the blue doe was out of a litter of 12 and small, if I'd be interested in the litter mate of the blue doe and it was a black doe. The parents where both blues. I said yes, and the next thing was picking them up. He was now not going to the show, so I offered to drive up Thursday and meet him Friday. He said call me back Wednesday and I'll see if I have a friend who could bring them to the show. I did and all was now set.
The show was nicely run and well done. There where 5 judges and over 500 rabbits there. I got several 1st and BOV(Best of variety) and even a best opposite in my broken buck, Fuente. I decided to enter my Jr buck I picked up after I found out we only had 9 Havana's entered. The judges liked all my rabbits and I received positive comments and all. They really liked the Jr blue buck and I hope he grows up nicely. Overall it was nice and I might consider returning next year since they have it the 1st weekend every August.
