oh no I don't have any BYC clothes yet.
Cheep your soap was a great hit with my present recipiants. I'm going to have to get more off of you. Especially since I didn't get any for me.
Maybe I should go get a T-shirt and paint PURR on it with fabric paint people will think I'm nuts. OH well won't be the first time.

I talked to the guy that runs the show today and he said next year they are adding like 1200 bantams to the show . its going to be like 2 shows in 1 .

its almost here

How would they be "adding" birds? for birds to be shown, they need to be entered by an exhibitor. Where will they be getting the additional birds from. I'm going to be out there to drop some stuff off for the show tomorrow and to help out a bit, maybe it'll come up.

 

[poultrykeeper08]

He said alot of people want to show bantams so they are setting up more show cages next year for them

im sure it wil come up tomarow

 

[Reinbeau]

Hmmmm....when I went there three years ago there already were a predominance of bantams, which kinda bummed me out, because I really don't care for them (I know many do, I just don't). Now the ratio will be even more out of whack

This indicates to me that the ABA has awarded the next annual meet (2009 but held in January of 2010 as is permitted) to the Northeastern Poultry Congress. This decision would have been made at the Florida annual meeting of the board of directors last Friday night. I have not, however, heard the offical word on this.

Hosting an ABA national meet always increases the entry in a show. An increase of 1,200 sounds like a resonable expectation.

It is a very nice show.

Yep, went there today, the ABA national will be there next year.

 

[what was i thinking]

can anyone tell me how large of event this is?

 

[LilPeeps]

There are around 1900 birds entered this year. It is a large show.
