First Show Tomorrow...Suddenly very nervous!!

[PamB]

My daughter and I are going to our first chicken show tomorrow and she is showing for the first time. I'm suddenly VERY nervous. I think because it is our first time, I'm afraid we will do something "wrong" or forget something or get lost or SOMETHING! Ugh...hope I can relax and sleep tonight. Luckily, I'm exhausted from all the preparation we had to do today, so I guess that may help me sleep. I hope so.

don't worry! I STILL get that way before a show. And the night before the show? Forget sleeping. When the judge starts handling your bird to look it over, you're gonna need to remember to breathe. For me, it's a huge adrenaline rush. The judge decides who wins...and everyone else wants the win because they have worked towards that win for however long they've been breeding their birds.

I get everything except the birds loaded into the car the night before. That way I KNOW I'm not leaving anything behind. Don't forget CHAIRS!
