Massachusetts Shows

[Must Be Losing It]

I've been to a billion 4-H fairs/shows and I always assumed they were purely child competitions. But are there similar competitions for adult hobbyists?

Is there already a Massachusetts community/swap meet?

Sorry, I'm new and haven't a clue.

Bumped up for you! Does anyone have any dates and shows for this year as yet?
This is from last year, I don't know about all of them, but imagine most are each year with slightly differant dates. http://www.mass.gov/agr/fairs/fairs_directory.htm

That's extremely helpful, thank you both of you. Great info.

Of course, that's assuming my 24 little weebles hatch safely and healthy. I'm a bit nervous today.

All of this is great information. I've been interested in having chickens, but I've had difficulty finding information for MA. If anybody lives near Boston, I'd love to come and meet your chickens!

What town are you in? I'm in Plymouth.

 

[calamityj]

I'm in Somerville. How many chickens do you have?
