Is anyone a 4-her in here?

>>Is anyone a 4-her in here?

Hi there! This one's been awful quiet for a while, but I'd bet there's some 4-Hers out there lurking who are just waiting to join in.

I have two who are starting 4-H, haven't had their first meeting yet, I think its next week. I had wanted to be in it as a kid, but my mom wouldn't allow me to join.

Tell me about the things you've done in 4-H and what your favorite part of being in it is!

Welcome back! Showing rabbits, huh? So tell us, what do the rabbit judges look for when they are at a rabbit show? Do you just have your rabbit in cage or do they take them out and examine them, check their personality, etc?
