FBRC Cherry Pie Extravaganza February 17th and 18th

West Monroe, LA – The FBRC Cherry Pie Extravaganza will be held February 17th and 18th at the Ike Hamilton Expo Center. This event will showcase rabbits and cavy from across the country.

This event is expected to bring an estimated economic impact of over $216,000 to Ouachita Parish.

“The adaptability of the Ike will be fully displayed this weekend as hundreds of rabbit owners from 10 states will be in West Monroe for the annual FBRC Cherry Pie Extravaganza rabbit show. The Ike Hamilton Expo is a huge economic driver for Ouachita parish as it continues to host shows that provide tremendous sports tourism for our region. We welcome the American Rabbit Breeders Association Cherry Pie Show and wish them the best of luck this weekend,” said Scott Bruscato, Discover Monroe-West Monroe Executive Vice President of Sales.
