Locals Score Big At State Fair

By Katie Keele
    Brayden Jackson and Danica Keele both competed in the rabbit show and youth competitions at the Florida State Fair in February and Lake County residents should be proud of how well both these kids and their rabbits performed.
    During the youth show, Danica won Best in Show with her Havana and Brayden won 2nd Reserve in Show with his New Zealand out of 279 rabbits shown. Brayden then competed in the open show, against adults, and won Best in Show.
    In the youth competitions Danica won first place rabbit judging, first place showmanship, and first place Rabbit Champion (total of all the various competition points) which earned her a cash prize and the opportunity to compete in the Champion of Champions round robin.
    Both Brayden and Danica hold offices in the Absolute Accuracy 4-H club and show competitively at American Rabbit Breeders Association shows. Danica is also the president of the Goat Busters 4-H club and a member of the Lake County 4-H Ambassadors, 1776, and several other clubs.
