Kathy...I'm sure that poop seminar is hard to resist!!

This will be the second year in a row that we are doing the fecal exam workshop, I don't know when or if we will do it again. Last year we had about a dozen people bring their scopes and we had a great time playing in the poo. Hopefully, we can spread the knowledge to even more people that are wanting to be able to diagnose their birds' needs.

We have a three-hour block of time so if you can not bring a scope you can still bring some samples for us to look at.

Brad Legg has not had a farm day type of event for seven years but we try to plan our conventions around some type of peafowl activity. Two years ago it was near Rocking BAB and we got to have a day-long visit and luncheon there. Last year it was at the Cookeville Tn. exotic livestock auction. We have no idea where it will be in the future yet.

You lucky convention-goers had better take and post many photos for us less fortunate individuals!!!
