Northeastern Poultry Congress - Springfield, Mass - Jan 14-15, 2012

[LilPeeps]

The Northeastern Poultry Congress show will be held on January 14 & 15, 2012 at the Mallory Complex in the Eastern States Exposition fairgrounds. It's the best show in the northeast. The showbook and entry form are now available for download on their site at http://poultrycongress.com. The show is open to the public on Saturday and Sunday. Visitors are always welcome and admission is free. There is always a great selection of quality stock for sale at the show. Like last year, 10x10 sales plots will be available to exhibitors. I'd suggest you come early Saturday if you plan on purchasing anything as the better birds sell out first, although you'll find better deals on Sunday. Definitely a show worth travelling to. I look forward to seeing many of you there! So, who's planning on attending?

You can man the table with me. I'm 2-3.

WAit !!! After reviewing the poultry congress website. The hours on sautrday are from 9am -3pm? what the heck. Listen I want to help, (at the table)) but I want to go to the show too!! 3-4pm was my slot sitting time. Forgive me for late notice, But I'm gonna try and go earlier. (Sigh) wtheck

I want to thank everyone for making this such a great show. I'm sorry I couldn't make it over to the BYC table, I was pretty busy the whole time. It sounds as though it went really well for you guys. The building is definitely heated, it just took one trip from outside back into the building this morning to tell (brrr!). It's so hard to actually get the temp in such a big building up when doors are constantly opened, but it stays warm enough so the birds water doesn't freeze. I really hope everyone had a great time, and for those who attended for the first time, I hope we'll see you back again next year!

Hello Again All,
I just uploaded my pictures and here are some of them

THANK YOU all SO MUCH for all the help.
It was a weekend I will remember for a long time.
But, being older than Mame1616, I may also have forgotten some names already.
I cannot believe what an incredible bunch of people have in common to drive hours in the winter, to meet complete strangers.
And to help me out at the BYC table, was just priceless.
I am still unloading my car, doing laundry, and stressing out about going to work tomorrow.
The NEPC has put on a great show. I plan on attending again next year.
And, I came home with both a blue, and red ribbon. Woo Hoo!
Right now my DH is running a bath for me, which somehow seems more important than sitting here typing.
Thanks again, I owe Mame 1616 the world.
And everyone else, too.
Please pm me your times, so I can forward them to Nifty.

Gratefully yours,
Roberta

Mame, who was the faverolles breeder that was there? (and why didn't they bring some of their birds

for some competition?)

Dick Boulanger has been doing Favs for about thirty years. His flock was decimated by a predator a couple summers ago and he is still rebuilding. I'm on his waiting list.*
