Updates on Heartland show

[kare_bear]

Well the Heartland show is underway and we do have power! Last night we lost power in the section of town. It is a gorgeous freezing rain too.

Still doing the standards but have 152 standards and 87 mutes. We will post class results after the standard show as we will have a long break. Due to a great turnout have run out of cages so are switching some after standard show.

Good job, Ruby & it was so nice to meet you! Good luck with your new boys!!

It was a great show and what a turnout. No lights and running out of cages, but we pulled it off. Not complaining about running out of cages either. Thanks to our judges for doing an outstanding job. Beth Ann Connell and Joe Brown. Also to our trainee judge Roger Clark, who said he was scared to death, but it sure didn't show. 21 exhibitors,from Oklahoma,Colorado,Missouri,
Kansas,Minnesota,WisconsinNebraska,and of course Iowa. Thanks to everyone for putting up with the inconveniences.
Jags I couldn't believe that animal was sound asleep on Rub's lap while it was being groomed. Congrats to ruby for her first time showing and a 3rd best of class to boot.

It was a fantastic show!! Congratulations to all the winners!! It was great seeing everyone.

 

[jags]

Yes he must be one of those wild ranch chins but it looks like he took to Ruby well. I only wish I had show prepped him to have him show his best.

 

[brenda]

Great show! Lousy drive home, but we made it in one piece and got Wendy home before it started snowing up by her.
Good thing I like her or I would seriously have to think about taking her to shows anymore. Congrats on your win, Sweetie!!!!
And to everyone who showed!

 

[alwaysloneheart]

Thank you everyone at the show... it was great, you did an awesome job... even if we waited for cages... I truly did not mind... IT GAVE ME A BREAK FROM GROOMING... LOL...
it was wonderful seeing friends we have not seen in a long time... and meeting new ones... personality wise... this show was the best... everyone had fun... everyone offered their help... I could not have had a better time... thank you again from all of us and our chinchillas...

 

[designer chins]

Congrats everyone! Wendy, tell us more about this nice standard you have ;-)

I sucked it up and brought one standard this year, since SOME PEOPLE (DAN!) like to tease me about only showing ebs. I do have some white bellies at my house, after all! She isn't quite 8 months yet, so I'm hoping she continues to improve so I have a standard to show at Nationals.:thumbs:

Tammy, any time you run out of room at your place that Black of yours can come live at my house! Gorgeous!! Shoots Blacks were stunning as well--dang, I love that color!! Congrats, girl, and I'm glad you got home safe.:hug2:

 

[jags]

I keep telling you to expand Wendy so you have more room for all those other colors!

 

[MerrittChinchillas]

Dan Jensen did an outstanding job as show chair. This was his first time time to chair a show. Tammy thanks for my pin and it was sure good to see you. Let us know how the beige girl works out, glad you won her. It was good to see so many young people at this show, not as onlookers, but as competitors. gives you hope for the future.

 

[designer chins]

I keep telling you to expand Wendy so you have more room for all those other colors!

I keep telling you to just send $$ so I can expand! :neener:

Dan did do a nice job as show chair. All the ladies at the entry & awards tables worked so hard, too. Thank you for all your efforts in keeping a BIG show moving so smoothly!! :dance3:

 

[MerrittChinchillas]

Congrats to you again Wendy. Thanks for the help with animal handling. If Brenda won't bring you next year, I'll come get you.
