SHOWMANSHIP
The ARBA recently released
a showmanship format and score sheet to be used at the ARBA National Convention.
PASRBA has adopted this format and will be using it at all events run by PASRBA.
We would encourage all clubs and counties to follow suit.

Attention King & Queen Contestants
King and Queen contestants: You
have to give a three to five minute promotional talk including visual
aids. Talks are to be performed by the contestant without help except
for special circumstances with prior approval. We have had everything
from cavy history humor to necropsy discussions to photography to
diseases. The topic, presentation style, visual aids, costumes, etc are
entirely open. The presentation is supposed to be for the general public
to promote rabbits and/or cavies. The best way to think of how they will
be judged is: If you were on the stage at the PA Farm Show would 1) the
general public be interested and stay to watch 2) Will it teach them
anything? 3) Will it change their view of rabbits and cavies in some
positive way? If you win, you will give the talk at the PaSRBA banquet
so make sure your visual, audio or anything else can be seen from 50'
away. A powerpoint projector and audio system will be available.

Interested in learning more about rabbits and cavies?
Join the new Youth Rabbit Group on Facebook! This
is a group of royalty kids, helpers, and coaches who
will post questions and answers to help you study for
royalty and have fun doing it! Questions are
posted by judges, ACBA and ARBA royalty and anyone else
who is a member of the group. This is a good
resource for any youth competing in any rabbit or cavy
contests. To join the facebook group go to "Rabbit
Questions Galore" and click to join.

2009 Youth Contests &
Results
|
The Pennsylvania
State Rabbit Breeders Association would like to encourage all youth in
Pennsylvania to participate in the wide range of activities and contests
we offer. At the PA State
Convention, youth may enter the Educational Contest
which
includes rabbit and cavy
record books, informational posters, informational displays, rabbit/cavy
artwork, rabbit/cavy short story, and rabbit/cavy photograph or photograph
series.
The
Royalty Contest looks
for youth to advertise our fancy. The
Lord, Lady, Prince, and Princess must complete an application, take a written
test, identify breeds and/or varieties of rabbits/cavies, participate in an
interview and do showmanship on their own animal. The Duke and Duchess must complete an application, take a
written test, identify breeds and/or varieties of rabbits/cavies, participate in
an interview, judge one class of four rabbits/cavies, and do showmanship on
their own animal. The King and
Queen must complete an application, take a written test, identify breeds and/or
varieties of rabbits/cavies, participate in an interview, judge one class of
four rabbits/cavies, and give a promotional talk.
 |
Two other contests offered at the convention are the
Breed and Identification Contest and the
Rabbit/Cavy Judging Contest. By these
contests we hope to educate our youth and prepare them for the national
competition.
In an effort to
offer more to our youth and an example set by ARBA, we are now offering an
Achievement
Contest as well as a
Management Contest. Both contests
may be entered
by youth even if they are unable to attend the convention. The
Management Contest also holds a
special place in our hearts as a memorial to a Pennsylvania rabbit breeder, Carol Prosseda,
who passed away in a automobile accident. She showed many breeds.
She won some and lost some. However, she loved helping youth with their
rabbits and promoting the breeds she loved. Carol cared about the
fellowship and fun, not about winning. She is missed by many.
To access applications for these contests
and the PaSRBA Scholarship please see the
Forms page.

2008 ARBA National Convention
|
Pennsylvania was well represented at this year's 2008 ARBA Convention in
Louisville, KY. Our state had 40 PaSRBA youth competing on 11 PA
teams, 2 district teams and 6 NY, NC and MD teams.
The Royalty competition had the largest
participation in the country with 29 PaSRBA youth!
Saturday's practice and pizza party, led
by 9 judges and registrars, was well attended by 75 youth from PA, NC, MD, CT and WA. |
A very special thank you goes out to Gerry
Vaerewyck for devoting so much of his time and effort to ensure all
participants were prepared for the competitions. Congratulations to all the
winners!
Take a moment to view
pictures of the ARBA Convention. |
