If you missed the show, you missed out on a great time!
Well we are getting close to the Dalton, Ga. shows now. I have checked with those in charge of the trophies for the NARBC Nationals and our Mid-South Angora Specialty show and all the trophies are ready! Yippee! Keep your fingers crossed that things go well for us. Everyone has worked hard hopefully it will be a smooth ride.
I have talked to several people from far off who are planning on coming to the show. This is a great chance to get new stock that would otherwise be out of our reach to get other than shipping! The Nationals will probably not be around here again for some time so do take advantage of this one close by us!
If you have items for the raffle table please bring them with you. It looks like we will have a fantastic raffle this year thanks to all our hard working members. There will be a wide range of very nice things so please plan to participate in that.
All in all I think we will have a great time. If my dvd recorder works this year I plan on getting videos of the shows. They will be available just as soon as I get back and get them uploaded to the web site. If you would like to purchase a video let me know. Terri Greathouse will be our photographer again this year. We should have some great pictures for viewing also.
More later……

Gone With The Wool 2010
We have a new look here at Mid-South Angora Rabbit Society
The Mid-South Angora Rabbit Society held it’s charter meeting in January 1995. Even though we are a new club all our members have at least one common interest, the ANGORA RABBIT.
The club was established with the commitment to bring to you a quality angora specialty club with all the benefits imaginable.
Our newsletter is informative as well as fun to read. The newsletter contains local show information and results of winnings. There is a classified section in which breeders can list anything they have available for sale, (rabbits and supplies), and a section especially for readers to share their personal knowledge with other breeders. This includes a section for questions and answers. Each newsletter includes a health question directed and answered by a veterinarian and brief, easy to understand articles pertaining to the good health of our angoras.
The purpose of this club is to promote, encourage and improve the development of the Angora Rabbit industry in all of it’s phases and areas. We provide membership to persons interested in breeding, marketing and showing Angora Rabbits as well as pet and fiber producers with support for all products thereof. The club has regular scheduled meetings and an annual specialty show.
Below you will see out Specialty show for March 2009. The first is a slide show of pictures taken by one of our members – Terri Greathouse. She did a great job and we give a big Thank You to her for taking them for us!
This is a short video taken by our President. It was suppose to be a lot longer but the camera messed up. It will give you an idea of the way we show Angora rabbits.
