NAN 2016: More collectibility eye candy!

My sister, Sarah, and I were really excited to show at NAN in 2016 to support the one judge system. As collectibility showers and judges ourselves, we understand that the pool of collectors, and thus judges, for our chosen divisions is smaller than that of most other halter classes. Finding one knowledgeable person who geeks out over paper hang tags or original boxes is tricky enough, especially when so many from the already small group want to enter the show. Finding three is a tall order. So we were really happy to support this experimental endeavor, and we both agree that it was a rip-roaring success in collectibility. The competition was quite fierce, and the judging was spot-on.

Without further ado, on to the eye candy! We headed down to the Rupp arena bright and early Thursday morning with our official table mascots in tow.

Nymeria the direwolf and Alexander Camelton, mascots extraordinaire
(Yes, we are nerds.)

We showed only plastic and clinky collectibility, and we had a great time and were really thrilled with our winners.
