I'm not Neil, but he said "Non Exhibitors are not allowed to bring poultry into the show hall or onto the fairgrounds."

If you want to sell, you need to be an exhibitor.

Exactly.
Enter a bird then bring it or not. Your name will be on the list that "officialdom" may need to review if there are any reportable disease issues that arise in flocks that were at the show.

The 2011 OHIO NATIONAL Schedule

Friday, November 11, 9:00AM to 10:00PM for cooping in.

Saturday November 12, The Exhibition Hall will open at 7:00AM. Judging begins 9:00 AM, Building closes for the day at 6:00PM

Sunday November 13, Exhibition Hall will open at 7:00AM Champions of the show will be awarded, 10:30AM approximate time of dismissal.

There are buyers coming thru the door with the exhibitors as soon as it opens. Friday is like the "black Friday" of poultrydom. There are buyers waiting in the aisles to see what birds go into the sale cages. Get there early if you can. Of course the earlier the better on Saturday.
Sunday - a nice ending to the show if you stayed in town overnight or live nearby. If you have to make much of a trip for just this day you should consider carefully if it is worth while.

So do sales start on Saturday morning or on Friday?

I will be in Columbus on Friday, but I was not planning on going to the show until Saturday.

My second year as well and this is a really nice show as it is close for alot of us Ohio'ans - i recommend it to anyone that can make it!

Just send an e mail to the Secretary sometime after this year's show and ask to be put on the list. ohionational.org You will get the information in time to enter next year. Any questions - just ask. I will be on site Friday morning until the show is torn down and the building swept on Sunday. I will not be hard to locate at the show if you have any questions I can answer.
