B&C, Meat Lovers Entry Form
Saturday night event: TBD however looking very likely that dinner at Cherokee Pizza will be the winning option
Per ARBA rules, we will NOT be accepting entries from areas currently considered RHDV-2 hot zones. This means if you are within 150 miles of a current outbreak, you will not be permitted to enter the show.Currently affected states – counties (expiration’s are 60 days from last reported case, pending no new cases):
CA – Kern : expires 2/5/21
CO – Larimer: expires 4/3/21
AZ – Yavapai & Navajo : expires 3/13/21
FL – Lake : expires 2/28/21
NV – Douglas: expires 4/2/21
UT – Uinta : expires 2/8/21; San Juan : expires 2/16/21; Duchesne : expires 2/13/21
WY – Albany : expires 2/15/21
We will continue to monitor the RHDV-2 outbreak, and we will abide by all ARBA rules & guidelines. I vow as your show secretary that we WILL check addresses, monitor the situation, and not permit entries from active hot zones. Additionally, please do not drive through any hot zone (within 250 miles of an outbreak) to attend this show.The current plan is to have SF Nationals & the SF crew in a separate space/building, where judges will come to our table – this is Saturday only, Sunday specialties will be in the main show room. We will provide sanitizing wipes for coops, for those who want to wipe them down prior to tabling their rabbits – but there is ALWAYS a risk at a rabbit show, so please take that into consideration.The NSFRC & GSFRB reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone based on ARBA RHDV-2 guidelines for the safety of our breeders & their animals, & are not liable for negative outcomes from show attendance.
**While Georgia currently has no mask mandate, and likely will not implement or enforce one prior to the show, we wanted to let you all know these additional COVID details:
– We will be providing hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes in the show room & at the judging table
– We are planned to be in a separate building for the Saturday shows, on our own table, which will minimize movement throughout the show room and interaction with other exhibitors
– Masks are NOT required, however if you feel more comfortable wearing one, please do – the choice is up to you
– We have graciously been donated a box of N95 masks by Kara Perez / Broken Silver Fox COD Team, which will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis to those who would like one
In the end, you still need to make the best decision for yourself & your animals on whether or not you should attend the show. Please stay home if you feel unsafe or unsure of the circumstances. As with every rabbit show, there is always SOME risk to both exhibitor & animal for disease/injury/death, and those risks should be weighed by each exhibitor prior to the show. The NSFRC & GSFRB assume no liability for negative outcomes due to show attendance.
