Page 83 Lincoln Daily News 2025 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2025 Once the show began, it was Jerry Hicks who was doing the judging again this year. Hicks would gently, but fi rmly, pick up each rabbit, turning them over and looking at things like their coats and teeth. He would do so quietly, but after inspecting each animal, he would tell the girls good things and things that could be better about the animals. After judging for a category, he would pick a winner. In addition to inspecting the rabbits, he also took some time to teach the girls about their rabbits. At one point, he talked about the importance of a rabbit’s teeth placement, so that the top teeth overlap the bottom teeth. After Hicks was fi nished inspecting the animals, it was time for Junior and Senior Showmanship.

He also reminded them about what to talk about and show to a judge that they would want to see. Continued --
