ARBA Convention was loads of fun but it is good
to be back home. The number of entries were down and
many of the regulars were unable to attend this year.
The atmosphere was relaxed and low key, and many of
the exhibitors agreed it was a welcome change from the
usual.
Silvercrest Kalapuya received BOV for American
TSW under Judge Steve Lussier. Wow! This is such a thrill
being the first year a Silvercrest TSW has been exhibited
at a national show. Kalapuya continues to improve with
age and will certainly end her show career with an impressive
record.

There just isn't enough time these days to keep
the website updated as it should be, but I am working
on a new look. Also, the photos page will be posted
with new pictures of new cavies, so check back periodically.

Wow! What a fun and crazy week-end in Ellensburg, Washington.
Many of us cavy exhibitors stayed at the same hotel,
so in the evenings we gathered to visit, and laughed
until our sides ached. Dinner at Rodeo City BBQ on Saturday
was bittersweet. It was the Tibbetts' last show as Washington
residents. Reed gave an uplifting farewell speech and
he and Jan were presented with a commerative plaque
in appreciation for their contributions. Best wishes
to them as they move to their new home in Texas.
It
was also a great week-end winning wise. Silvercrest
Heceta received RIS under Judge Dana Kolstad (her
3rd leg), Silvercrest Chinook received BOB American
Satin under Judge Linda Loucks (her 5th leg) and BOV
under Judge Diana Armstrong, and Silvercrest Nokatee
received BOV under Judge Diana Armstrong.

Because of a busy schedule, I attended only the Saturday

It was a fun day and afterwards several of us gathered
