Meetup at California State Fair in July @ Chicken exhibit building!

[OrpingtonManor]

well it sounds like we aren't actually meeting up at 12 noon now. I'm still going to go, even though I'll be by myself. Just got off the phone with HHandbasket. Nice lady!!

She might still go, too!

If anyone goes, be sure to track me down! Just walk up to anyone who looks like my avatar and say, "Are you Orp?"

Hope to see you there!

hi mediazeal! oh bummer, I won't be able to make it at noon now. I chatted on the phone too long. Send me your phone number by pm! I'll call you as soon as I get there. Okay, I'll hurry now. I have an hour and a half drive, and still need to change the oil on my truck. YIKES!


I'm going! I'm going!

I'll be watching for you in your purple hawaiian shirt. Let's see, I'll wear the orange shirt in my avatar.


Going! Zoom----------------------------------------------------------------------------->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[HHandbasket]

Me, too. I'm going! But I won't get there until around 1-ish. I'll be wearing a dark purple blouse & black jeans. I'm 47 with bleached blond hair & I'm about as big as a piece of popcorn.

If anyone wants to PM me their phone #, I'll give you mine!! So what if it's not a big group... the point is, we're going!!

Farmer Lew (my handsome better half) may be joining us later in the day, I believe, as well.

Orp, if you PM with anyone else that's going, feel free to also share my phone # with them.

See y'all there!

Ok, since it's just 4 of us so far, it looks like the official time is now 1pm.
see you there

 

[HHandbasket]

It was so nice to meet everyone today! I had a good time. Wish they'd had a bigger selection of breeds. It's still going on tomorrow, so maybe there will be more then.

Still, it was nice to meet everyone and have a good time, eat some gnarly greasy food and just hang out. It was fun.

Hope to see y'all again soon!

just got home myself. I got lost in the dairy goats, and never found the landscaping exhibits. I needed a map!

It was great to meet some more chicken nuts! Here are a few pics, and as promised, nothing but the wild shirt will be shown of mediazeal!

Was great to meet you all.
Fair was busy and hot, chickens were few, but you guys were fun!
Thanks for organizing it HH and thanks for coming such a long way OrpintonManor
Let me know anytime you want to go Chickeneering

Yay! Enjoyed meeting HHandbasket and OrpingtonManor today and spending time with mediazeal. Also shown in the pics are two of my neighbors and fellow chicken, turkey and duck lovers, Karen and Paula. So much fun to hang out talking chicken and eating fair food. Thanks for the fun afternoon!
