2021-2022 FINAL Sweepstakes Report – Rabbits (updated 07-26-22)
NEW DATE & LOCATION!!!
OCTOBER 15 & 16 – CORTLAND COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS – CORTLAND
NYS CONVENTION SHOW – Triple Show Weekend
UPDATE REGARDING GRAND FINALS 2022
FROM DEB VECCHIO – SECRETARY/TREASURER & CHAIR OF THE GRAND FINALS SHOW COMMITTEE
GRAND FINALS 2022
October 15 & 16, 2022
Cortland County Fairgrounds
The Show Committee’s efforts to secure an alternate location for Grand Finals in Syracuse, NY on 10/1/22 & 10/2/22 have been unsuccessful.
The Committee attempted to keep the same date and move the show to Cortland, however, that is Parent’s Weekend at Cortland State, and there were insufficient hotel accommodations available for that weekend.
The Show Committee & Officers are happy to announce that we were able to secure enough judges, along with 3 buildings at the Cortland County Fairgrounds, 100 hotel rooms and a banquet facility for October 15 & 16, 2022.
The Show Catalog is being worked on now, with hopes for release early next week.
In the next few days, prior to the catalog release, there will be a post containing hotel information shared on Facebook and the NYRCBA website.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding, as we worked through these unexpected hurdles.
We look forward to a fun & successful Grand Finals, 2022!
As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
We hope to see you there!
Deb Vecchio, Secretary/Treasurer & Show Committee Chair
