Oregon Fall Poultry Swap! 9/25/10 11am **all details on first post!*

[feathers4fun]

Question-Does anyone know how far from parking lot to our pavilion area? Hoping distance not to great as we have lots of stuff to pack And-we're going early in order to get "stuff" set-up, will this be okay? Hope to arive 10-10:30. I read somewhere that we'll have name tags again; are we putting real name AND computer name on our tags?

No idea on the distance - never been there before. And yes, I will be there between 10 and 10:30 as well to get the signs out and stuff. I have the name tags and probably a good idea to put both. I'm making a sign to put near my car too with both names on it.

So are we setting up by our cars in the parking area or in/around the pavilion? If you're not sure it's fine, we'll just figure it out tomorrow.

Really don't know for sure lol. We have never been to this site for a swap so I think we are just playing it by ear. We do have a certain area reserved just not sure if it is near the parking area, pavilion or what. Hopefully Chickboss will be there early too to help us out since she is the one who set it up.

Unless it is really warm I'm going to have to stay nearby my car as I'm bring newly hatched chicks.

I was just thinking, my car with it's "Buick Passenger Comfort System" makes a really nice brooder. It has temp sensors placed around the interior and blows air from the different vents to hold a constant temperature from head to toe. Probably not economically feasible to buy another one for that purpose though.

It would probably be a good idea to set up the potluck in the pavillion and we can keep our birds near our vehicles.
I know we all LOVe our birds but we probably not want them with the food.
