Hey Backyard Poultry Buffs,

Make plans now to attend Eggtoberfest 2010 in Helen, Georgia! woot

Friday, October 1st
Saturday, October 2nd 
Sunday, October 3rd

I'm currently working on reserving several venues for this event, as well as booking guest speakers! I will post the event schedule as soon as I can!

I anticipate national sponsors including, EggCartons.com, Randall Burkey, Nite Guard Solar, Horizon Structures, My Pet Chicken, Ideal Poultry, McMurray Hatchery, Purina, Manna Pro, USDA-APHIS, and many more!

The northeast Georgia mountains are beautiful this time of year and accommodations are plentiful which include hotels, cabins, state parks, and camping!

I don't anticipate an official poultry show at this time, but I do anticipate a HUGE chicken swap and many other events!

If you want to include an official poultry show please let me know.

More information will be posted as it becomes available!

See you there!  wee

That sound like it might be a nice little vacation for me.  Are there hotels nearby?
