 ::silly::  Looks like we'll make it!    ::silly::
I've never been to a show that I did not learn something new ...
Those of you who have never been to one ...
Please try to make this one or the next one close to you.
You will be amazed as well as overwhelmed at all you learn from your very first show ... so much that it can takes weeks to really sink in ...
Each one after that, you see what you missed before and/or what was not at the one(s) before.
It is worth your time and money!   ::nod::
Much less than what you would pay for an out of town concert or foot ball ticket.
Hope to see you all there!

We had a good time at the show!  I wish we could have stayed longer.  Learned alot.  Boy!, Ralph sure is long winded!!  LOL  Loved loved loved all of the mutants!  I wanted all of them but alas, we are just pet owners and couldn't have a herd.  Maybe in a few years when we get a house.

Thanks again!

Steven ;)

I was wondering if you were there.  We didn't get a chance to meet.  Where were you sitting?

I just have to brag.  My Violet won Reserve Champion!  I'll post pictures later.

 ::silly::   Congratulations, Jamie  ::clapp::   ... Champion and Reserve Champion were neck n neck ... Ralph had a hard time choosing!

It was a great show!   Nice crowd ... not to big and not to small ... just the right size to be able to enjoy it and meet quite a few new people and get to see many of my other breeder friends that I have not seen in a while.   :::grins::

Steven,  sorry I missed you, too  :(  ... I didn't connect the name with the forum ... they mispronounced your last name in the drawing, didn't they?    ::think::

Ralph's not really long-winded ... he just had allot of information to teach/give-out and a short time to do it.   :::grins::

Wish you all could have been there!

Congrats Jamie, that sounds like so much fun.
Janice was there too I hear, sweetnessheart. ;)

Can't wait to see pics. Did you take any Jo Ann?     ::bouncyball::




 ::think::  I didn't think you had any chins Jamie  :::grins::

It was one that I bred that I got back.  I'm slowly growing my herd back.

I was sitting in the front row to the left of the table.  I don't know if they called my name in the raffle, we had to leave just before the Ebony class came up.  Most likely, if they did call my name, it would be mispronounced, happens all the time.  It's Mobley (mahblee).  Really wanted to stay but we had to get back to Charlotte to pick up my partner's suits that we ordered or he wouldn't have had anything to wear to the new job!!  Really did have a good time though.  Hope ya'll have another one!

Love to you all!

Steven Mobley

 ::silly::  Steve, I think I remember seeing you, but not positive ... a little hard for me to turn around and look.  ( I was the one on the front row, directly in front of the table, taking pictures/videos.)  Don't ever be shy at these things, always introduce yourself to everyone!   :::grins::

Janice, yep, I got a few single shots, but I also managed to video about 90 to 95% of the actual judging (about 13 GB)  I am hopeing to get some good still shots out of it, when I do some editing.    :::grins::   Went through 6 - 2GB cards, 1 - 1GB and one 512 MB card. 
 ::clapp::   BTW ... congratulations ... I heard your name mentioned a few times in the awards, too!

It was a good gathering and I believe we all had fun while we learned.   ;)

i happen to have bought the Reserve Grand Show before the show. i just couldnt stop staring at her from across the room. rofl also our ebonies took reserve and 3rd class champ (also bought before the show).
our black velvet male took 3rd class champ and one of our standards took reserve class champ. the rest of our kits did well. we also picked up a handful of black velvets and whites to add to our growing herd.

I was sitting in the front row to the left of the table.
Still trying to find you in my head.  (Weird me, I like to have a face with a name) When you first came in did one of you sit in the front row and one of you sit in the back row for a bit?
Title: Re: ECBC NC Show!
Post by: cusunfireguy on January 23, 2010, 08:06:49 AM
Yep, that was us!

Well then one of you set right beside me in the back row.  Darn it!!  We should have chatted more.  Which one were you, the one in the front or the one in the back with me?
Title: Re: ECBC NC Show!
Post by: cusunfireguy on January 23, 2010, 09:48:40 AM
I was in the front and my partner was in the back.  I just wish we weren't so limited on time and could have stayed longer.  We had to get back to Charlotte so we could pick up his new suits we had ordered so he could be ready for work.
