The Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center will hold its 33rd Annual
Rabbit Show, Saturday, November 13, at the M.A. Edmond Livestock Show Arena, beginning at
7:30 a.m. Youth from across the state will roll into Baton Rouge for this annual event that
teaches leadership skills, character development, and entrepreneurship skills.
SUARECs Annual Rabbit Show is the largest in the state, with competitions in
16 sanctioned rabbit breeds, and draws youth from almost every parish in the State. "We're
expecting more than 250 youth exhibitors to participate in this year's Show," said SUAREC
Livestock Show Director, James C. Archie. Participating youth represent Future Farmers of
America (FFA) chapters, 4-H Clubs, and other school-aged youth.
The SUAREC Rabbit Show is sanctioned by the American Rabbit Breeders
Association, and is co-sponsored by the Louisiana Rabbit Breeders Association. All events
are free and open to the public.
