You Can’t Beat The Dutch 8 I would like to invite news from other Dutch Director’s Report members in District 3. District Three Looking forward to seeing everyone in San Diego. Sincerely yours in Dutch, Jill Pfaff
llo again fellow Jill HDutch fanciers, Time fl ies and soon we will be heading to San Diego for the ARBA Convention. Our show numbers over the summer have been smaller no doubt infl uenced by the current economical climate. The Western States Dutch Fanciers had a booth at the Washington State Convention in Ellensburg in late June. We had a collection of Dutch bumper stickers, pins and clay jewelry (like what I usually bring for our ADRC raffl es). It was a nice weekend event with a spectacular Blue doe bred by Jan Coffelt of Washington winning BOB at both shows and Reserve in Show honors. We had great Dutch judges Scott Williamson and Conall Addison. At the Oregon State Convention in Newport our Dutch friends Jeff & Terisa Silbernagel won Best In Show with a Black Checkered Giant. I personally enjoy the summer fairs, not just exhibiting but visiting and supporting the 4-Hers. Katie Kimmel enjoyed success with her Dutch at the Linn County Fair in Albany, Oregon. Mackenzie Cranston from Jackson County in Central Point, Oregon had a great show with her pair of Blue Dutch. Our own Gene Knieling was one of the judges and looks spiffy in his white coat. Emily DeHaas was there helping out even though she was showing this year as she just graduated from High School, congrats Emily ! In Benton County, Corvallis, Oregon I took Best In Show with a Dutch for the 4th year in a row. For the fi rst time I entered some of my roses and garden products. I took 2nd place in Red Rose division and 3rd place in Orange Roses but did not place in the Pink Rose division. My Bell peppers placed 3rd place. We will soon be having the Oregon State Fair in Salem, Oregon which I am especially looking forward to going to the Reba McEntire concert. This fall the Western States Dutch Fanciers are planning a Dutch Specialty in conjunction with the Tri-County RBA Friday night Specialty shows and Saturday double open show November 20 & 21 in Albany, Oregon. We hope to have a great showing and attract exhibitors from outside of Oregon. 9 You Can’t Beat The Dutch or a tomorrow. So, Dan’s loved ones go on without Director’s Report him; we can’t even imagine their pain. But, we do know the loss of a friend and that our Dutch District Three Rabbit world is just a little smaller without one Rick Lehmann of our own. Going forward, I am going to never be “too” has been a fairly mild busy to just say “Hello”. I have realized that you ummer here in the mid all mean alot to me personally and I never want west,I but some very strange to take that for granted. Our paths in life may be atmospheric conditions in different but our joys are the the same with our other parts of District 3 with connection to The Dutch Rabbit and the American Seattle, Washington reporting temps over 100 Dutch Rabbit Club. degrees. That must have been very uncomfortable I can’t wait until we meet in San Diego this fall since most homes are built with no central air and thank you so much for allowing me to call you conditioning. Hopefully, every ones summer and my friend. county and state fairs are successful. This has been a very different late spring and summer for me personally--one fi lled with some Rick joy and what seems like alot of sadness. I know life is a series of “ups and downs”, “of movement forward and back” and we take life “one day at a time” to use as many cliches as I could squeeze into one sentence. But sometimes things happen 2009 ARBA that cause one to stop and refl ect on life and what our Dutch Club friends mean to us. Convention Awards By now, most of you know of the passing of our publicity co-chair, Dan Monahan.

With all the things going on with me helping out the Kansas Club with the show and Director’s responsibilities, etc., I never once got a chance to stop at that publicity booth and just say “Hi”.
