District 1 Member's Harlequin Graces the Cover of the DR
 Barb Adams, ARBA District One representative from Canada had already excelled at the 2011 ARBA National convention in Indianapolis when her Black Silver was selected for Best Opposite Sex recognition at that National Show. Barb also raises quality Harlequins and that fact did not go unnoticed.
She had entered a beautiful Magpie Junior doe (Louisa - ear #0CW0) in the 2011 Convention (now a Senior). Previously this past fall, this doe had won won two Best in Show awards at a local sanctioned Fair. While at Convention, this exceptional doe had the perfect "end of row" coop, which put her in view of numerous Convention goers. Barb's friend, Kim Pueschel - a fellow Harlequin breeder from New York, ran up and announced that Eric Stewart (ARBA Executive Director) and the DR's Creative Director - Sandra Wight, had seen Barb's doe and one of Kim's bucks (the Japanese on the cover) and asked to do a "cover shoot" for the DR. The ARBA was planning an article on Harlequins and thought the "Harlequin Romance" on the magazine's cover would be "cute".
The rest, as they say, "is history". Congratulations to Barb Adams (and her friend Kim) on an outstanding promotional opportunity!
Side Story...At close of Convention, Barb went to collect her rabbits and found Louisa was gone! In a panic, she went to the Show Super and after an involved search, followed by phone calls, discovered an exhibitor from California had taken Louisa instead of the buck she had purchased. The exhibitor had gone through TWO security check points and no one had discovered the error. Finally the woman realized her mistake and was just returning to the showroom when the Show Super got her on her cell phone. Barb was overjoyed to see her rabbit again! Indiana was definitely an adventure!
