Jennifer Breeden, Lexington, is organizing a small animal or pet club, which she hopes will attract members with rabbits, chickens, gerbils, or any small animal.

Showing a rabbit or other small animal, requires training, and expertise, just like the larger animals. All young people are welcome to join the club.
