FPC Annual Poultry Show - Morganton, NC - October 27, 2012

[Matt A NC]

Those exhibiting get there early so they can get birds cooped in. Others start setting up to sell at dawn(7:30 ish). The exhibitors have to be all cooped in by 9, which is when the judging starts, and then those also selling venture out to set out their birds forsale. Anyone going to sell really should be setup and going by 9am.

The raffle and silent auction is 12:30-1. Most birds will be judged by then. Some folks pull their birds out of the show cages as soon as they are judged and can progress no further. After 1 more and more will go as the judging winds down. Judging should be complete around 2-3pm depending on the number of birds there.

It is so much fun, Sandy! Can't wait to see you again! Less than a week to go!

I won't be as stressed out this time as I am not taking anything up with me. Just friends! Kimberly and probably Nicole, the ladies I was parked beside at Chickenstock. We do lots of chickeneering together!

Wow, thats quiet a number of entries. Would have hoped for more largefowl but its still early in the season for them to be finished out. The Cornish #s look great. I look forward to seeing their National Meet!
