By Jordan Studer

Tuesday’s Jr. Fair Rabbit Show proved to be a big day for first-year senior 4-H member Madison Tieben. Tieben took home the title of Senior Rabbit Showman and is excited to be a representative for the rabbits at the Showman of showman competition Friday evening.

Tieben’s winnings did not stop with showmanship as she went on to win first place Outstanding Exhibitor as well as title of Grand Champion Breed.  When speaking with Tieben regarding her feelings to be able to participate in Showman of showman as a first-year Senior Showmanship participant, no ounce of nervousness were shown by her words.

“I’m really really excited. I’ve been watching Showman of showman for several years now and I’ve always just wanted to participate it in after watching all of the other animals show. It’s just going to be a really great opportunity to get to show all of the different animals,” Tieben expressed.
