The Guinea Grotto

07/22/2026

Fenelon Fair, 2026
One of our favorite fairs- Bunny Bonanza, complete with radar run rabbit agility.

We were honored with a youth BIS for our tan sow with exhibitor Emme. **this line of tans is absolutely incredible, the boar that sired this sow is Black Gold & McCabe bred by Mary Lou he won BIS youth at Fenelon Falls 2025. The Sow was Truffles Guinea Pigs bred by Shirley. What an incredible start to 2026.

Thank you- to judges Kim, Glenn, appreciate Sean.
To organizers Ashleigh and Jenna. Secretary Sadie, (not sure who was helping rabbit side), to all exhibitors who brought out their best, and to all who volunteered and help make this day memorable!
