Ace in the Hole Rabbitry

Yesterday was our TARBA Show in Cortland NY. It was a very well attended show with approximately 1900 rabbits. Thank you to everyone who came out to the show and supported the club. With so many high quality rabbits and great breeders present we knew the competition would be tough. In Show A We were honored to win BOB in Polish with our our Black sr doe Taylor Swift and BOSB with our Broken Chocolate sr buck Billy Idol. In Dutch we won BOB with our Steel Sr Doe. In Show B we again were honored in Polish to win BOB this time with our Black Sr Buck 530pz and BOSB with our Broken Black Sr Doe Olivia Newton John. On the Best-in-show tables we were blessed to win Second Reserve-in-show with Taylor Swift for Show A and then in Show B we won Reserve-in-show with 530pz. Congratulations to the Lyons on their BIS wins with their beautiful Angora and also to Rob Frizzell and Tim Repine on their wins. Thank you to the judges for recognizing our animals on the show tables. So that's a rap on the 23-24 New York State Show season. Our next show will be in Bath NY on July 13th.

Yesterday we attended the Mohawk Valley RBA Show in Frankfurt NY. The weather was great and so was the show. It was a nice venue and well run. Congratulations and thank you to the club. We were extremely honored to win BIS with our Black Sr Buck 500pz in Show A under Judge Stacey Groncki. Then in Show B we went on to win RIS with (not a black!) our Broken Chocolate Sr Buck Billy Idol under Judge Corey Hayes. Thank you to the Judges for recognizing our animals.

Yesterday we split up Team Earle and traveled in opposite directions. I traveled four hours down to Augusta NJ for Garden State Spring Fling. As always it was a well run show with a nice amount of high quality Polish. I very much enjoyed visiting with the Polish Family members present.🎊 We were honored with some great placings. On the BIS table there were so many high-quality animals. Our Polish Black Jr Doe "Taylor Swift" won our very first BIS away from New York under Judge Dakota Manning for Show A and an Honorable Mention for Show B under Judge Gordon Williams. WOW! 🤩
Jody and Zachariah traveled up to Syracuse for The NYSF Old Timers Show with our Dutch and some more of our Polish. They did well. On the Show B BIS table we won BIS with our Black Sr Doe 634PZ and our Dutch Blue Jr Doe received an Honorable Mention under Judge Kyle Yacobucci. Yeah!
Thank you to all of the judges for recognizing our animals and to the Clubs for well run shows.
😊
It was a great day all around for us. Go Team Earle and Team Polish!

My petition to run again for VP of the APRC has been officially accepted, and I would be honored to have your support at election time.
It's been my pleasure to serve the members of the APRC, first as the District 7 Director and most recently as the VP, for a total of almost 7 years! I'm extremely proud to have been a part of the positive changes in our Club, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to our Club's growth & progression. For those who don't know me, our family has been raising rabbits for 20 years, most notably Polish & Dutch. I am currently the President of 2 NY all breed clubs & 1 regional Polish specialty club and am ARBA Registrar #1204 (with a goal of eventually becoming an ARBA judge). I also enjoy serving on the APRC Standards Committee. In my next term as VP, my goals are: (1) To help find resolution to the "Dewlap vs Pencil Line" issue, (2) To increase our Youth Mentorship efforts and (3) To continue to work hand in hand with fellow Board members to find solutions to the challenges our Club faces. Rising tides lift all boats 😊 Go Team Polish!!!
