Emmy did a fantastic job with her market rabbits. To be fair, this round of market rabbits was the most challenging that we've ever had. Five of the baby bunnies died in the short time that we had them, and one of them, little Lucky, barely survived to come to the fair. Still, Emmy had enough for two market pens, and one of them made it to Final Drive. Emmy was announced as 5th place. (We later learned that the announcers made a mistake, and she actually got 6th, but, still, out of over 125 pens of rabbits, that placing was just amazing!!)
Emmy continued her winning ways and place 1st in intermediate showmanship with her favorite bunny, Lucky!
In Pro Showmanship, Chelsea entered the ring for the first time of the day, with her rabbit, Charlie. Chelsea won Pro last year, and the odds of winning two years in a row are just huge. However, Chelsea showed incredibly well, and she was stunned when she realized that Emmy, Emma, one of the Richardson boys, and herself all remained as possibilities for 1st place. Surely, she would at least place in her last year! Chelsea was so relieved and thrilled to win 1st place in her last competition of rabbit showmanship. What a great way to finish her outstanding career as a rabbit showman!
