We and eight M-n-M rabbits attended the ARBA's 82nd National Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, in October of 2005. This was the second Convention for us, our first being in Wichita in 2003. Our rabbits also went to the Convention in 2004 to Rhode Island, so it was their third trip cross-country! Our rabbits did respectably, including one 4th place, and we had a lot of fun seeing our friends and hanging out in The Hoosier State! There were 6,449 rabbits shown in the youth pavilion and 19,877 rabbits shown in the open pavilion. That's a grand total of 26,326 rabbits! It was the largest Convention ever!

Ryan entered two photos and a rabbit carrier he made in the youth educational contest. He won Champion on the black-and-white photo and a blue ribbon on the color photo. The pictures with their ribbons are pictured below. His rabbit carrier received a red ribbon because the "divider [was] not secured" although it was indeed secured... Ty entered a deck of rabbit cards he made in the contest and received a red ribbon on them.
