Costume Class - New for 2026!  This year, we will have an optional costume contest at the end of the rabbit show. 

Youth must be enrolled (and approved) in 4-H Online, register for the show, and pay the registration fee by the deadline, as well as maintain a project record book about the process that they submit for judging ahead of the show to compete in the show. Youth ages 5-18, as of January 1, 2025, that wish to show their own rabbit should register and learn more about the 4-H Rabbit Show.  

Registration is not currently open.  Check back in March 2026 or email Sara Drake to be notified when registration opens.

Registration deadline is May 1, 2026.
