Oopsy, I would suggest that if you want to buy any birds that you get there early. Last year a large percentage of the sale birds were gone by 10.
I will be there early with Bluemoon, Granny and Hope and since I look like my current avatar I should be easy to spot. Hope to see you there.

The show doesn't stop at a certain time for lunch. Showmanship for the kids is usually done by lunchtime or shortly there after.
As for the breed show, no one is allowed in the row that the judge is judging. So you are not committed to being with your show birds the whole day.

I did find that with the sale coops, we left our cell phone # cause we didn't sit there the whole time. Anyways it was so noisey that I didn't hear it til I stepped outside.

I am planning on eating between 12-12:30 at the lion haus, adjouning the pavillion.

And do get there early to purchase birds. The good ones go quick. If you aren't looking for show quality, by the end of the show they go rather cheap, since folks don't want to take them home.

I will be there with a double stroller and 5 kids. 3 will be showing in showmanship.

Daughter and I are leaving here at 5am should get us there in plenty of time to see all the sale birds.

We'll look for you Opa. It would be a pleasure to meet you and your family.

Oopsy, it should only take you just over an hour to get there. Saturday should be a great day.

Yes it does open at 7am for exhibitors to get their birds there. The show itself doesn't start until 9am.

We are getting up early Saturday morning and heading to the show. Hope to be there by 7-7:30am.
