The Banks of the Wabash Classic will be held on Saturday, May 25th and Sunday, May 26th, at the Vermillion County Fairgrounds, Cayuga, Indiana. There will be two shows, including Champion Challenge. Also, we will be hosting the District 4 Saanen and Nubian Specialty shows. If participating in the Specialty shows, please complete the Specialty Entry Form. To participate in a Specialty show, the animals must be exhibited in their respective age classes. Any finished doe may be shown in the Champion Challenge class or regular age appropriate class. Entries in Champion Challenge classes must present proof of championship in the form of the prefix CH or GCH affixed to the animal’s registration or recordation certificate.

 

 

All shows are official ADGA sanctioned shows and ADGA rules shall govern. The Junior and Senior doe shows are separately sanctioned. The base date for Junior doe classes will be May 25, 2018 and Senior does will be May 26, 2019. The show will adhere to the National Code of Show Ring Ethics. The judges for this year will be Justin Lesniak (Ring 1) and Cameron Jodlowski (Ring 2).
