The Pennsylvania
State Rabbit Breeder’s Association Annual
Convention was held February 2-3, 2008 in Lebanon, PA. We had
record numbers both days! As always
it was a great success!
Congratulations to
Ruth Ann and Brian Bell on the birth of their son born February 2, 2008.
Little Levi Bell weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs 9 oz and measured 21
1/4" long! We wish the Bell family all the best!
Our convention
was featured on the cover of
Lebanon Daily News Valley Life
and included pictures of Alex Stepnoski's Youth BIS English Angora,
Daulton Lape with one of his Dwarf Hotot's and ARBA Judge Roger Cota.

A huge thank you
goes out to all who helped to make this convention a success. A special
thank you to those who stepped in to help in Brian's absence. |

Annual Meeting |
Our youth were very active over the Convention weekend! Not only did
they show their rabbits but some also participated in a
variety of our many contests, such as Royalty,
Educational,
Management and Achievement contests. See the
youth page for the
winners! Congratulations to all!
We had a very large number of Royalty contestants this year and the
competition was tough!
Many thanks to Piper Smith for her dedication as 2007 PaSRBA Queen
this past year. We wish you well.
Want to know who was crowned our new King and Queen? Read more about the
winners on the youth page.

Youth Banquet and Dance |
|
Much fun was had by all at the Youth Banquet.
We were again served a delicious dinner followed by presentations and
the contest results. Not only did we crown new Royalty but many of
our past Kings and Queens were also present.
This was the second year for the youth auction and once again we had
many generous donations of beautiful baskets and other items. All
proceeds from the auction benefit the PaSRBA youth. The
Fertility hex sign, purchased by Eric Stewart last year, who then gave
it to Brian and Ruth Ann (which reportedly was under the seat of their
van for the last year) made its appearance again and was purchased by
?????
Hmmm... Maybe that hex sign really does work!!
Thanks
to the efforts of Richard Vaerewyck, the youth had their own dance this year after the
Banquet. It was a huge success. Many attended and had a fantastic time dancing to the
music played by our very own DJ, Dana Lape! This just may become
an annual event!
The picture may not be very clear but here's proof that Richard can
dance!! |
