I finally got a chance to catch up on old posts and found this thread.

I'm a newbie to BYC. I live in Sleepy Eye...southwestern MN. I'm the MN state rep for the American Silkie Bantam Club and the National Silkie Breeders Association. This spring I was also nominated as the new secretary for the Brown County Pigeon & Poultry Association (BCPPA). I'm also a member of the MN State Pigeon Association. I'm sure most of y'all recognize me from swaps and shows in the area.

Some exciting new ideas this year. I created a website for the BCPPA (www.bcppa.com). I have just about every swap and show listed on there as dates are given to me. I'll try to keep it current.

We're trying to get a newsletter going and member benefits for the BCPPA too. Its been a huge turnover in the club. The old leaders had no idea how to use a computer. Just trying to sort out all the written member rosters and records right now.

I'm calling all silkie and cochin lovers to the fall BCPPA classic show on October 10-12th! I tentatively have Eric Kutch from California lined up here to judge the featherlegs. The NSBA wants to hold their Western Nationals there. I'm lining up a meet for the ASBC. The cochin people are supposed to have a big meet too. Might be some of the top birds in the nation there.

Lil about me.... My name is Amy and I will be 33 in a month. I graduated from South Dakota State University with degrees in Biology & Animal Science. I had every intent of becoming a large animal vet. After interning for a year and a half, I gave up on finishing my DVM. I now deal and pitboss at a major casino up here. I also share a huge hobby farm with the rest of my family. We have 4 horses, 2 donkeys, 2 goats, 2 amazon parrots, a few dogs, and too many other birds to mention. Silkies are my main breed. Also have standard cochins, standard BLR wyndottes, peafowl, heritage breed turkeys, geese, ducks, pheasants, quail, and lots of fancy breed pigeons.
