Linda Cassella Memorial Youth Scholarship

Linda Cassella won the ARBA Best-In-Show award twice, at the 2005 ARBA Indianapolis, IN Convention and at the 2012 ARBA Wichita, KS Convention, in her short time of showing Angoras. Linda also mentored several youth with two of them going on to win Best-In-Show at the ARBA Convention. These youth were Collin Burns, Grand Rapids, MI in 2007 and Jeffery Olson, Portland, OR in 2015. The name of this scholarship was changed to honor Linda Cassella for her dedication and mentoring to our youth. We will always remember her dedication to the Angora world and youth as well as her humor.
