Just a nice story about a rivalry between two teenage girs vying for top prize in local rabbit shows. From the Cortez Journal (CO):
The rabbit-raising rivalry heated up about three weeks ago in Dove Creek. Thirteen-year-old Kady Meyer, a five-year veteran of showing rabbits, was up against Battle Rock 4-H friend and fellow "rabbit-rouser", 14-year-old Kayleen Hackett, a six-year veteran.The stakes were high - ribbons and pride - but the girls vowed not to let the furry competition harden their friendship. That day in Dove Creek, Kady and her Florida White rabbit won champion, while Kayleen and her gray Champagne D'Argent took reserve champion.
The girls are nervous but chatty Thursday as they await their second showdown of the summer. Kady and Kayleen are back with the same rabbits, the same rivalry and the same determination to remain friends regardless of the day's outcome. The rabbit showmanship contest isn't about winning and losing.
