Berlena's Place Rabbitry

Quality Mini Rex Especially Blue Eye Whites

2008 Mini Rex National Show

I flew with Frontier Airlines on Thursday morning. I had one stop in Denver Colorado.  I was surprised to see a blizzard! (ok well it seemed like one to me!)

Then when I arrived in Kansasa City, I rented a small SUV and drove the last 2 hours into Sedalia. I thoroughly enjoyed the drive.  No traffic...big difference compared to So. CA's congestion!  I snapped some pictures on the way.  Strange to see no mountains. I was most fascinated by the road kill!  I saw a huge turkey, a couple raccoons, and the usual dogs.
   


Show Barn
I arrived about 7p on Thursday.  They had the coops all ready and was letting the early
birds put their rabbits up rather than having to leave them in the cars. 
Wade Burkhalter truly amazed me!  He had basically put the whole showroom together
and had worked all day.  When I arrived he still had a smile on his face and patiently
answered my questions.  He was like that the entire time!
He is a true gentleman!


I ALWAYS have fun with Gina and Tiffane.  They arrived a little earlier than me and had already scouted out a great restaurant, Kehde's Barbeque.
Very very good food!
 
 
Thats how my eyes looked the whole time!  I was tired the whole time....jet lag??
 
   
The Blue Eyed White section...I put poster board in between all mine to reduce stains from spraying neighbors.

The showroom


This was the hangout out back.  The people from Texas serving up great food and it was free!
