To those who are going to Crossroads, I am writing to say hello and to introduce our documentary project. Here is our posting:

Los Angeles based production company is seeking participants for a documentary which focuses on passionate individuals who compete poultry. Specifically we are looking for competitors planning to attend The Crossroads of America Poultry Show October 28-30, 2011 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. From the seasoned veteran to the novice, people from all backgrounds and experience levels are welcome to apply. Our documentary is character-centered, which means we focus first on the competitors, their drive, zeal, love of the sport, and then secondly, on their birds.

Applicants should be prepared to have us video at scheduled, mutually agreed upon intervals the full process of preparing for the meet, including but not necessarily limited to breeding, chick and bird selection, and the final preparation for competition.

If you are interested, please contact us at [email protected]. We will ask you to complete a short application and will provide instructions to submit a brief video.

For those applicants planning to attend the Stockton show on January 30, 2011 we may ask, after review of your application to meet and video selected candidates while we are there.

Thanks.

Nicole

Thanks, Jim - I reserved a room at one of those recommended. Can't wait!

Nava - 10 1/2 hours for me. That's IF I don't stop to eat and pee. The trip to Ohio was supposed be 81/2, but side trips made it two hours longer. Can't pass up the Cracker Barrel! So excited you're going, even if you are bringing your frou-frou birds!

Are you going to make it to Lovinstock?

I need to find someone who lives in California, who is going to this show. Craig Russell will sell me some Dorkings at the show, but I'm not going, so I'm looking for someone who will transport the chickens from the show to me in N CA.
Thanks for any info!
