Champion rabbit gets to stay with owner

Honey will stay with her owner after this years Mesa County fair but that isnt always the case.
Honey is a mixed breed rabbit. She and her owner, Kali Moore, 13, ofGlade Park, were awarded Grand Champion Saturday afternoon during theJunior Livestock sale at the fairgrounds.
This is Moores first Grand Champion award. She held Honey tightly anddisplayed her red carnations, the crown for Grand Champion animals.
Jackalope Liquors bought Honey and two other rabbits from Moore for$650. After the bid was completed they told Moore to keep the animals.
Sometimes they buy them for a tax write off or to support the kids, said Kelly Moore, Kalis mother.
Kali said that she was happy that Honey wouldnt be a candidate for a jackalope head mount for the liquor store.
It can be hard to sell them so I try not to get too attached, Mooresaid as she petted honey. But I dont have to worry about that thisyear.
Honey wasnt the only animal getting love at the fair.
The animals at Noahs Ark Petting Zoo were being dowsed with affection by children of all ages.
I like the babies of all kinds, said Rachel Ortego, 5, of Grand Junction.
Ortego gingerly stroked a small La Mancha goat to sleep. But heraffections turned when she heard that there was a kangaroo in the backpen. She jumped up quick as lightning to see the visitor from downunder, originally.
Hes actually from a breeder in Missouri, said Samantha Russell,manager of Noahs Ark. He cant be in the main area because his tailstoo long. Kids step on it and he doesnt like that much.
The petting zoo residents included llamas, ducks, goats, a ScottishHighlander calve and a Patagonian Cavi, a South American rodent.
All the animals in the zoo are all people friendly because they are brought into the zoo at an early age.
Theyre just like giant dogs, Russell said. They like to bescratched behind their ears and on their nose. And they tend to bond toone person.
Two-year-old Jocelynn Young seemed to have a black and white lamb as a new admirer. It followed her around begging for pets.
Mommy look at the cow, Young screeched as she pointed to the lamb.
She thinks theyre all cows, laughed Rachel Young, Jocelynns mother.
The petting zoo is an annual attraction to the fair. Russell encouragedpeople to contact the Mesa County Fair Board to request their return.
They decide whether or not were doing a good job, she said. We hope to be here again next year.
Noahs Ark is based out of Elizabeth. The zoo travels across the country year around.
The fair wrapped up Saturday around 11 p.m. For information or resultsvisit their web site athttp://www.mesacountyfair.com.
