Judge’s Conference
Friday 7:00-10:00
Especially for the continued education of judges, but may
also be of interest to the general exhibitor and breeder. There
will be a meeting/conference area inside the showroom.
Saturday Lunch – Baked-Potato Bar
Noon, in showroom
We invite you to enjoy our area’s famed baking potatoes
with plenty of toppings to choose from. You can even bring
your creation with you to the membership meeting.
ACBA General Membership Meeting
Saturday, 1:00PM – Jim Hupp, President Officiating
You are encouraged to attend to better understand the
workings of your organization and to actively influence the
decisions that are reached and will later influence you as a
member. There will be a vote on the location of the 2010
Specialty show. There will be a meeting/conference area
inside the showroom.
ACBA Banquet
Bon Appetit will cater the banquet at College of Idaho, within
walking distance from the showroom. The cost of the
banquet is $22 for adults, $18 for youth 11 and up, and $16
for youth 10 and under. This will be a sit-down served meal.
Dinner includes a choice of Raspberry Chicken, Idaho
Trout, and Vegetarian Lasagna. It comes with house salad,
seasonal vegetables, freshly baked rolls with sweet creamery
butter, and choice of dessert. There will be a no-host bar.
Includes announcement of Royalty results and a Bottle
Auction.
Bottle Auction (at banquet)
Linda Loucks, coordinator
The "infamous" bottle auction idea is gratefully borrowed
from the Florida Specialty in 2007. Everyone is encouraged
to bring a bottle, wrapped so no one can tell it's contents,
and we will auction them off. You may fill these bottles with
anything not toxic. For example: A good bottle of wine, a
terrible bottle of wine, a bottle of flavored cooking oil or
special vinegar, a bottle of Jelly Bellies or cavy "beans", rum
or Idaho potato vodka, anything that will fit in a bottle and
not poison anyone... you get the idea. Bring your sense of
humor and your checkbook
Last Dinner
Approximately 7:00 PM.
Please ask for location at the ACBA booth, and make sure to
sign up by 10AM, Sunday at the booth, too.

Pioneer Cavy Fanciers
PCF very much appreciates cavies donated to the silent
auction. We ask that all donated animals are healthy, weaned,
max 1 year old, and of show quality. If the animal is
pedigreed, please provide it for the auction; otherwise we ask
that the approximate age of the animals is provided in writing
along with other information you find relevant. The
owner/donor (o/d) receives 50% of the final bid, and the PCF
receives the other 50%. The o/d will be paid as soon as
animals are paid for and removed. Animals without bids will
be given back to the o/d.
Each cavy will have a form on which bidders record their
bids. Highest bidder at the time the auction ends is granted
ownership of the cavy upon payment.
The o/d is responsible for all care until the close of the
auction, including carrier(s) to house them in. The show
committee reserves the right to remove/refuse any cavy for
health or other unspecified reasons at any point during the
auction.
The auction area opens Friday at 1:30PM. The auction will
close at 3:00PM Sunday.

ACBA Youth Contests
Friday, 4:30PM
The Royalty Contest has had a make-over this year, avoiding
repetition to make it fresh and new. Also added this year are
the new static contests; photography, creative writing,
educational display, poster, computer and Arts & Crafts.
These were added in order to include ACBA youth members
that were not able to attend. Make sure to take a few minutes
to stop and see the entries on display. This is a great time to
make some new friends in the cavy world. It's also a terrific
time to keep you eyes and ears open to learn from some
experienced and successful breeders. Most important of all,
make sure you have a good time!
Becky O'Hogan & Beth Dudley, Coordinators
ACBA Board Meeting
Friday, 5:00 – Jim Hupp, President Officiating
During the ACBA meeting, club officers and district
representatives will be taking care of ACBA business. There
will be a meeting/conference area inside the showroom.
