- Provided there are no newly identified infections in their area later than 8/20/21, exhibitors’ entries will be accepted until the entry deadline.
- The ARBA office will submit any new RHDV2 confirmations to Crossroads Rabbit and Cavy Shows when received. ShowPro will then process the list and decline any entries from exhibitors in a restricted area due to the RHDV2 detection. Affected exhibitors will be notified as soon as the processing of the RHDV2 confirmation has been completed.
- Any entry fees paid to enter the convention, minus administrative fees, will be returned to those exhibitors affected by the RHDV2 confirmation.
Be safe, follow security protocols for the health of your heard and we will see you in October.

RHDV Update
It has come to our attention that a post is once again circulating about Kentucky canceling the 2021 ARBA Convention in Louisville due to RHDV. This is absolutely false! We as the convention committee are very aware of the complexity of our world in today’s climate. We are in constant contact with those who have firsthand knowledge of the RHDV situation and with those in the know in Kentucky who make the decisions for the safety and security of the residents of Kentucky based on facts. Crossroads Rabbit and Cavy Shows have been given the green light on hosting a live convention.
If things were to change, (and that is a big IF) the membership of the ARBA will hear it from the Crossroads Rabbit and Cavy Shows Committee through our website, Facebook page, or on the ARBA website. Because we are in contact with those who make those decisions, they would notify us FIRST. If you are seeing anything to the contrary about a live convention in any other social media post other than the ones mentioned, consider it BULL.
For the convention, as a committee, we will be strictly following all guidelines as set forth by the ARBA for RHDV. All information on the current status of RHDV can be found on the ARBA website, please take time to read all articles and make informed decisions based upon what is current at the time the entry portal is open. It is requested by the ARBA all animals that are traveling to the convention be quarantined 14 days before the convention and 14 days after the convention.
Be safe, follow security protocols for the health of your heard and we will see you in October.

Hotel Booking Update
It has been brought to our attention that some people were receiving an error when trying to book with our host hotel. The error was saying that the hotel was booked for our convention. That is not the case! We still have several rooms available at a special rate from Friday the 22nd until Wednesday the 27th.

Update From Our General Chairman
To my fellow ARBA members:
I do not have to tell anyone that 2020 has been a difficult time for the entire global community with the Covid-19 pandemic. We have plenty of things to occupy our minds with that alone. Now add RHDV2 to our hobby and we reach a whole new level of things to think about. The Crossroads Rabbit and Cavy Shows committee is fully aware of the goings on in our communities, our state, and our country. The news and social media outlets make it difficult not to know what is happening. Crossroads Rabbit and Cavy Shows is still working toward our 2021 ARBA Convention in Louisville, KY. At this time, we are hopeful that things will be back to “normal”. We have seen the reports coming from Kentucky and understand the concern our potential exhibitors have. But let me be frank, it is much to early to make any decision that differs from our original bid to host the 2021 convention in Louisville, KY. It takes months and sometimes years to put together all aspects of a convention. Our focus has been and always will be the safety and security of our exhibitors and their animals. Much like MARCS and this year’s convention in Harrisburg, we too will have a deadline to make a decision on the 2021 convention. NOW IS NOT THAT TIME! When that time comes, we will contact the appropriate authorities and then make our decision on how to proceed. Until that time, stay safe, stay calm, be kind and God bless!
Respectfully,
Gordon Williams
General Chairman
