Winners

Lots of winners to report about this week.

First and foremost for me was the Rabbit Wrangler.  If you remember he was the Grand Champion exhibitor at the Montgomery County Junior Fair in the Meat Pen Rabbits group in 2010.  We all thought it was kind of as flute since it was his first competition.  Well he was the Grand Champion exhibitor again this year in the same category.  He also had a third place finish in another category.  We're not sure but this may some kind of Junior Fair record.  The winning rabbits were the offspring of the same pair from 2010.  I don't know what these rabbits will bring at the auction (last time it was $750.00) but I think the real money may be in the breeding pair or the buck at a minimum.  Anyway,  a two time winner by the age of eleven is pretty good in my book.

Second, Silk won $105.00 in the SOTD.  We were due for a winner and he was one of the few who were still a virgin.  Then yesterday he just missed doing it again.  In fact we had a couple of close calls,  but at the end of the day the pot grew to $120.00

Finally Steve F. made his annual visit from Arizona, and managed to place for some money in our daily game.  His handicap travels well.  He probably would have done better but he didn't count on losing a scorecard playoff to a couple of our chief bandits.

I understand Ed S. is to have brain surgery after suffering an injury from a fall.  Don't know much of the facts but keep him in your thoughts.

The SD is running off to California for R&R for a month.  I asked him to leave his entry fees here since this was not an approved leave, but he said he needed extra gas money for his guzzler since he was driving.  We are taking applications for a replacement on Saturday while he is gone.

Have a great Labor Day Weekend and Go Bucks!
