April 13 - 14: Portage County RBA - Hall of Fame Classic Rabbit Show

 The Hall of Fame Classic Rabbit Show, located in Canton, Ohio, started as a small venture and has grown into one of the country's premier shows, with attendees from coast-to-coast. With a little luck, a lot of heart, and an all-star lineup of judges brought in each year, we have made a can't-miss show that we are truly proud of.

Year after year, our show plays host to multiple breed National Specialties and regional club Specialties for numerous breeds on Saturday, culminating in our "Best of the Best" competition in the afternoon for all of the day's breed winners.  We then turn around on Sunday, putting on a double all-breed open and youth rabbit and cavy show.
