History of the Fibber Cup

The Fibber Cup is named for the 'winningest' rabbit showman of all time, the legendary Eabert. R. "Fibber" McGeehee of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Fibber won the honor 4 times in his showing carreer. The Fibber Cup made its debut at the 2001 San Diego Convention. The perpetual trophy was the concept of Kevin Whaley and Randy Shumaker after noticing that the most prestigious win at the ARBA convention deserved an equally prestigious award. The trophy donated to the ARBA through contributions from CRCS and Heinold Feeds. The hand-crafted sterling silver cup stands aproximately 32" tall. The cup itself has a delicate pattern which was "chased" by hand. Chasing is a highly skilled method of decoration which has remained unchanged over the centuries and is now a rare art form. It is mounted on a mahogany plinth which incorporates a silver plinthband which contains the name of every Best in Show winner in the modern history of the ARBA. The cup is currently sponsored and presented by KW Cages.
