CHICKENSTOCK 2008

[Buckguy20]

I am ok with Texas but I'd say the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Or the original idea of Kansas City.We could do it in Oklahoma City. That is about halfway between Dallas and KC. I'm being selfish, OKC would be a short trip for me.

KK, I just thought about this when reading another post, but if we ever decided to have a Chickenstock in Texas and bring any poultry with us, there would be some strict guidelines that we would have to have in order to cross any Texas state lines. Here is the website link that Allen Wrench posted, and pay close attention to page 7. I would hate to see any of us get into any kind of trouble and or put a black mark on this forum.

Just got an email from Mr. Anderson of the APA. Here's what he said:

***************
Jessica,



I am definitely interested in some sort of arrangement. It would probably make the most sense to hold such and event in conjunction with our semi-annual or annual (national) meet. Our national for this year will be held in Lucasville , Ohio in October which is too soon for your purposes. At that meeting, we will decide upon the location for the 2008 National. I believe that the 2008 semi-annual is scheduled for Iowa .



Let’s stay in touch and see if we can arrange something.



Dave

Things seem to be looking good so far!!

Iowa sounds great to me! Still Central!!

DH says if it's going to be in Texas it should be near the Alimo. I asked him why and he said "because I've never seen the alimo and I want to."

 

[eggcetra_farms]

Hee hee...yes, come to the Alamo City. I'll be sure to be there!

This sounds pretty neat to me. I hope it can stay central Kansas, Missouri, Ohio - those are possibilities for me. Has anyone thought about contacting MyPetChicken.com to see if they would be interested in participating? I'm mentioning it because they have posted here a few times.

I know I've only mentioned it to the APA to try and get their backing and to have it held in conjunction with one of their events.

Actually been trying to get ahold of Tracy at My Pet Chickens. Left a voice mail and awaiting a call back. Will let you all know once I do.
