Longest. Show. Ever. I'm bad, Sandi's evil. Laurie's tired. But it was a good show, congrats to everyone who did well!

:tease: But I had fun being evil!

I'm home!

MCBA doesn't do a two day show for two reasons. One, we don't usually have that many pelts. Two, a two day show is more expensive for people, and we do our best to keep costs down. Two day shows mean more hotel nights, more eating out, more time off work, etc.

We are usually done by 6:30 or 7:00. We were longer this year because we had so many pelts and because our judges were slower. They did a good job and were VERY tough, but took more time.

You can put the date for next year on your calendar- March 24, 2012. Jim Ritterspach and and Dave Woods will be the judges.

I had a great time. It was so nice meeting so many of you in person! Congrats to everyone, there were some beautiful chins there!

 

[VolunteerChin22]

whew!!! that was great! I am so pleased with my girl's performance! Not bad for one chin in the show! Probably should have charged Ash more for her hahaha

So glad to put faces with names! and yes truly that black was amazing. I tried talking Ron out of her as soon as I saw her and no dice She was definately my pick for grand show from the start!

AND I came home and found A6 and A7 - one standard female and one white female out of my huge white Neive!!

:bump1:I just got a chinchilla and I am going to go watch a show and then someday put her in a show. Any tips on how to get a chinchillas fur dense and strong?

 

[starleomach]

the fur strength and density is genetic for the most part

We finally got home late last night and I'm dragging today after very little sleep this weekend, but we had a great time. I was so bummed though... I forgot my fleece tunnels I bought. It was the one thing my fiance asked me to pick up for him and I left them in the show hall.

There were some great animals and my arm/shoulder hurts still from picking up all those heavy weights at the show.

Megan (and Cheryl and all) - awesome job handling as always.

And thanks to the 4 or 5 of you that kept catching my black female every time she escaped her show cage. =p

Laurie! It was great to meet you... for all of 5 minutes!

I'm very happy with how the show went, it was a great turn out and always a great time to hang out with the chin folk. =)

 

[Laurie]

I know Mish! that just was not fair lol!

 

[threewingedfury]

I'm trying to recover from the long weekend, it's not so easy lol. I had a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone as usual. I have a ton of photos that I hope to get up soon. I'm just too tired right now and I have to get ready for a long day of work, so they'll be up a little later. For now, here's the GSC.

 

[mishellyshel]

Congrats Tiff!! Gorgeous looking chin!!

 

[threewingedfury]

Oh she's not mine, that's Hummel's grand show. I wish she could have came home with me though. My little Memphis (black velvet male) did very well considering how small he was, but he can't compete with Hummel's monsters lol.

 

[mishellyshel]

ooopps sorry@ lol

i saw you won the reserve black so i thought you were showing him off.

You did a great job announcing. You and those poor judges must have been sore after being on your feet all day!

 

[Sandi]

What a gorgeous bv that Hummel chin was, winning GSC was well deserved.
