I too am interested in the Serama times....from what I am reading here it looks like Seramas are included in the 'regular exhibition judging' portion, so any time starting after 9:00?
What other groups would be going starting after 9? I guess I'm just wondering if we need to get there right at 9, or if it could take a while to work through other groups first (if others are going before)....do you have a rough estimate for the time to be there for the Serama portion?

I've never been to a poultry show before so I may be asking dumb questions...sorry!
We have two judges (plus extra ones for pigeons, showmanship and serama tabletop), and they will each start with different divisions. Typically one begins with largefowl and the other with bantams, but it can vary. I *think* that serama are going be be judged in exhibition first so that the tabletop judge has as much time as he/she needs without impacting exhibition judging.
Exhibition judging is not really a spectator sport as no one is allowed in the aisle during judging except the judge, clerk and show personnel. But you will find lots of those whose birds are being judged watching and listening intensely from the next aisle over. We like it when the judge talks loudly enough for us to hear. You are free to walk around and look at all the birds that are not currently being judged. There will also be raffle and auctions tables--the raffle will start about 3pm. And Pastry Mama will have a Girl Scout Cookie Sales table. There will be a section of sale birds--not sure of setup, but I expect in the back of the breezeway.
