I was there, and I am trying to remember, I think there was a pair of SQ white silkies for about $100? I thought it was a pair? I didn't look too closely, as I am not interested in whites. I know mine weren't anywhere near $90
. Kids wound up buying all my chicks, so I lowered the price to almost nothing, and no one took the pair I had. Did sell a couple of extra hens that I had shown as well.
So yes, exhibitors can pay to sell birds at the show, both inside in sale cages, and outside from their vehicles. The show is the same weekend in May every year at the Fairgrounds there in town. Its a really nice show, nice people, very helpful to new people (like me
)
beautiful building, and over in 1 day unlike some I have been to watch. They did have a cooping in time on Friday, but you could wait until Saturday morning to get there if you wanted, and you could take your birds after it was over on Saturday afternoon instead of staying over to Sunday.
There was no charge for spectators and you could just walk around and look at all the kinds of birds and talk with people. I thought I remebered them having a food vendor there last year, but this year they just had some coolers and people could help themselves to a cold drink or coffee. They also have a Chinese auction which can be fun.
Here is their website,
