Sorry didnt see this until now.
It was great, second show I've been to and it seemed pretty busy. There was a lot of good looking chickens there, didn't get to look at any of the other poultry since I waited in line for the polish and didn't want them to be sitting in the car afterwards with the sun shining in. I really liked all the modern game bantams, but my mom insisted they weren't 'real' chickens. Probably the bird that caught my eye the most was a partridge brahma hen, she was beautiful.
In total I spent probably half an hour wondering and looking at chickens, and the other hour and half was waiting for the lady that owned the polish to return, she was getting her birds in the show ready.
It was really nice, about have way there I realized I forgot my camera, so I don't have any pictures which was disappointing, but it was well worth the trip. There was a few of everything there, mostly silkies, and game bantams though.
Do people normally travel far for this show? I thought this would be a smaller one, but the lady who brought the polish was from Massachusetts, which is a pretty long drive, and my mom thought she was crazy for going that far.
That is really a pretty new show, only been going on a couple years now. I imagine it will continue to grow.
We are quite fortunate that we have several quality shows within a few hours drive time every year, let alone the grand daddy, the Ohio National. Anybody reading this that has not taken in a Ohio National should really make it a goal to see it. It may vary some from year to year depending which breed clubs are having their national club meets there that year.
Here are the shows that I am aware of. (Stolen from Poultry Show Central.com)
