A special thank
you to Glen Cox of Wild Hare Photography and Karen Schlottach for
taking pictures and helping us to document the Old Dominion Gold Cup
Shows. I would not be able to present the story without their
expertise and generosity.
We had four Mini Silky Shows in one day. There
was one set of classes in the morning judged simultaneously and
independently by two judges. At the end of each class each judge's
placements were announced and ribbons were awarded. Because of the
time restraints, the judges did not give oral reasons for their
placements. Exhibitors who wanted a verbal critique from the judge,
talked with the judge(s) after the show. This same format was
repeated in the afternoon. Champion legs were awarded in each
division, under each judge. The show was a smashing success as we
had three Miniature Silkies finish their Master Championship at
these shows as well as five other Mini Silkies who
achieved Championship Legs toward their
Master Championships.

Gold Cup
Trophies were awarded for each Best In Show and a Gold Cup was
awarded to the Best Coat In Show. Best Coat In Show was judged
between the morning and afternoon classes. It was judged by all 4
judges in concert. There was only ONE Best Coat In Show Awarded from
all four shows. This is a very prestigious win.
There were
also Judge's awards that were awarded to the Mini Silky or person of
each Judge's choosing for special recognition independent of class
placements.
This year we
offered a costume class again, with a great turn out of beautiful
costumes and Mini Silkies. It was a great additional class
for a day of Mini Silky fun.

our show clerk having an exhibitor's meeting. In the exhibitor's
meeting, he explains how the shows will run, where to wear your
armbands and how important it is to keep the shows running smoothly
and quickly as we had 4 judgings to get through in one day. Thanks
to Steve the show ran smoothly.

check in person for the shows. Volunteers like Janet are so
important; we are lucky to have folks like Janet in our area, who
are always willing to pitch in and do what they can to help. The
trophy table is set up with trophies, rosettes and ribbons for the
morning shows, we are just about ready to begin.

trophy trailers. What fun!!!

Sometimes getting out of one class and getting the
entries for the next class was a real challenge. Everyone was great
though and thanks to fast acting folks like Keli and Abby Harold,
pictured above, the four shows went off without a hitch.
Class Judging

These were our four judges who did a
tremendous job. Although you can't see the judges really well in
these shots you can see how hard they worked, each one is shown here
carefully evaluating each goat's fiber, one of the important
features that makes our breed unique and different from the other
goat breeds. We are very grateful for all the time and thought that
these judges put into their decisions. From left to right is Karin
King, Sharon Miller, Dawn Hawthorne and Sharon Joly.

In spite of all the rushing and
grooming, there was time to share a special moment in time with the
ones so dear to our hearts.

Before we knew it, the

pack up and go home. A day full of hard work, good food, good
company and a lot of fun. Hope to see you next year at the Old
