Director/Photographer

Hi, my name is Grace Silva. I am 10 years old and attend Potter Valley Elementary School. I am a director, photographer and help with Rabbit awards for the Kay Beeson Memorial Youth Rabbit and Cavy Club. I have been raising rabbits for 3 1/2 years. I own Fairy Tale Rabbitry where I compete at a local, state, and national level with my rabbits. I raise New Zealand White, Blue, Black and Broken varieties. I also sell meat pens for our local fair and other fairs outside of Mendocino county. When I am not with my rabbits, I am involved in Potter Valley 4-H Sheep group, Horse group, and Beef group. I have my own breeding project of Registered Suffolk Sheep and have competed with them at the North American International Livestock Exposition. I also compete in NATRC with my horse. I am excited to be a part of this club and learn new skills. My goal is to represent the Kay Beeson Club the best I can and help other members learn more about Rabbits. I cant wait for this years show! Thank you!

Hello, my name is Lauren Dill, and I am super excited to be the 2026 Reporter and one of the Photographers for the Kay Beeson Memorial Youth Rabbit and Cavy Club!

I am currently the President of the Redwood Valley/Capella 4-H group and a sophomore in high school. I have been raising rabbits for 9 years, and I specialize in breeding and showing New Zealands, Polish, and Lionheads.

Treasurer

Hi! My name is Catalina Cowen, I am 17 years old, and I started high school in 2023 without any clear goals or direction in what I wanted to pursue. I had a friend who was involved with FFA and she took me to an FFA informational meeting. It seemed interesting so l signed up and it wasn't long after that sign ups for showing animals at our county fair popped up. After reviewing the available animals for show, I decided to choose rabbits. That is when I discovered how incredible and amazing rabbits are. I continued to learn more and more about rabbits and got my first rabbit in 2024 which was a Polish! I started going to more rabbit shows learning showmanship and making new friends. A friend of mine gave me my second rabbit, a Silver. I have continued to grow and learn and am currently Vice President of our local FFA chapter and Treasurer of our FFA section. I am also in charge of taking care of the rabbits of my highschool rabbit program!
