I *think* (this only works in a perfect world) I will get the majority of the big birds there in the morning on Friday.
Hopefully not get too trashed that night, and early Saturday, get the rest of the "special birds" Showgirls, Silkies, and the nicer REAL showbirds there.
Have to be cooped in before 8am.
The ride home on Sunday is gonna be a fun one.

OH... Anyone wanting to go to the Queens County fair.. let me know, I will *TRY* to get free passes. Can't guarantee.

I think 32 is more then we have in our county fair! Best of luck!
