REGISTRAR - There
will be at a registrar available to register your rabbits. Bring
pedigrees, current ARBA membership card, and $6.00 per rabbit if you
want your animals registered.
LUNCH - This year’s lunch will
again be served by Harry Weise of the Hickory Shed BBQ. The Hickory
Shed has won awards as some of the best Barbecue in the Chattanooga
area. The menu will consist of your choice of Chicken, Pork, Beef, or
Smoked Link sandwiches, chips, and drinks. Lunch will be available
starting at 11:00 and ending about 2:00. There are also several fast
food restaurants close to the show site but remember, we don’t break
for lunch!
WRITERS - As our way of saying “Thank you” to all
who write behind the judging tables during the day, the club will place
cash coupons in each breed folder that will be redeemable for lunch or
at Trammell’s Trail Treasures. The coupons may also be used to
purchase raffle tickets or may be redeemed for cash with the show
secretary (by writers only). Writers are very special people – we
really need you and we really appreciate you. Writer’s RAFFLE: Bring
your writer’s coupons to the show secretary to get raffle tickets for
the Writer’s Raffle. You will still be able to use your writer’s
coupons for whatever you want but you will also get raffle tickets for
a chance to win embroidered rabbit/cavy towels. Drawing will be held
at 3:30 p.m. If you’re not there, we’ll bring your towels to the next
show you’re at – we will not ship.
EMERGENCY PHONE - In case
of emergency, XXXXXXXXXX
