Very well put PRF!
Also, just as an educational thing, this is very basic yet is a good read to explain how "shows" work, http://www.apa-abayouthprogramsite.org/Edu_Material/Poultry_Show_Works_NA.pdf
Here is another link to interesting stuff http://www.apa-abayouthprogramsite.org/Edu_Material/Poultry_%20Showroom_%20Basics.pdf
Another thing to look up for showing is the APA Book of Standards.
This is a wealth of information and one time I found the book to read online and kick myself for not marking it.
Sorry that I took over this little section as a tutorial! Either way, you can place birds in a row, in cages, and have folks that are walking through place a ticket in a little bag that is taped infront of the bird. That is not a show, its a fun match!
Its just that if you use "show" or "Fair" you've just come from the pond and jumped into the ocean of legalities! But a fun match would be fun! Give each person 3 tickets, keeping it simple.
Either way, we are looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing all the types of venders!
