The web site for Topeka is www.auctions-usa.com. Sorry I didnt mean to high jack this thread. Mt. Hope and Topeka are very similar. We been to both and have always had fun looking at all the different animals one might see there.

Hello all! I'm so glad you mentioned Mt. Hope...I had forgotten all about it. I live very near there, so I will definitely be going......One year when I went to the exotic sale, there was a baby camel.....So cute.....I like to look, but don't buy exotics. There should be plenty of chickens......Very exciting!

It is listed as an "Alternative Animal and Bird Sale". Now, last year when I went, the most exotic animal I saw was a baby camel. They had foxes, baby raccoons, pot bellied piglets, snakes alligators turtles, lots of chickens, peafowl, gamebirds, ferrets, chinchillas....baby skunks......

I think it's fascinating, but the thing is, with all the new restrictions, I'm not sure what will be there this year......It is in Amich Country here in Ohio, and there would be lots of things for you to see if you came to visit......I'm sure you would enjoy it if you planned on touring Amish Country, which is Millersburg, Sugar Creek, and those areas.......

Lots of shopping, good food.....
