MN State Convention Results!!!

Wow... it was such a fun day at the MN State Convention!  I was up at 5:30 and Dad and I left by 6:30AM so we got there right when the doors opened and met Julia and her mom and set up "camp".  It was a VERY LONG wait, though!  I think it was around 1:30PM until Dwarf Hotots FINALLY got judged.  I was SO nervous!  Sr. Bucks were up first of course... Mickey took second place out of the 7 bucks!  The judge said he would have gotten first if it wasn't for his coat... which I kind of knew was coming, since his coat looks pretty rough right now (molting). :(   But I was excited for him to get 2nd place!   Then Sr. Does - Julia and I were the only ones who entered a Sr. Doe - Julia's doe, Hoppin' Hotot's Ruby (who is Mickey's half-sister) got first and Zahara got second, of course.  ;-)  Jr. Bucks- Thumper did get DQ'd as I was expecting. :-(    But the REALLY exciting news from the jr. buck class.... Mickey's son, Julia's buck "HFR's Bandit" took FIRST place!!!  YAY Julia!  I was so excited to see Mickey is out producing himself.  But the best part was when BOB was being judged... and Bandit took BOB also!!!!  Congratulations Julia!!!!!!  Then Jr. Does - I got a pleasant surprise!  I think there were 5 jr. does in the class, and Trixi took a close 2nd place!  I was not expecting even her to do that well, so that was REALLY exciting!  I can't wait to show her again, she is really one nice little doe, and I hope to have her babies on the show tables soon, also.

So I came home with three 2nd place ribbons, some other odds and ends I bought there, and a new little doe!  ...who I will post about tomorrow. She is GORGEOUS!!!!

Now for some pictures....
