After the very fun and successful 2009 event's there was much interest in having another event, we felt that we surely must let this fine tradition continue in all it's fanfare. with continued support We will strive to make this event even bigger and better than ever as our fine members deserve only the best. For those of our new members and members who were unable to attend the Okies in the BYC, it is a family oriented affair, where members come to meet the folks we talk to everyday on this forum, and enjoy the one thing we all have in common our fondness of poultry. This year promises to be one you do not want to miss, and as I stated it will be bigger and better than ever, this year we are planning the following.

1. Food : This year we will be featuring a full pot luck dinner.

3. A night of fun filled entertainment at the clubhouse. featuring song and dance numbers and skits.
4. Several static displays for your learning and viewing pleasure.
5. small lectures and demonstrations by professional and respected members of the poultry and agriculture fields.
6. A Raffle that would be sure to entice all members of the family
7. and for the 2nd time our very own Live Poultry Auctions.
8. Printed programs of the days events.
9. T-shirts are available to order.
10. A live reading for the kiddos, coloring and perhaps a show and some magic fun, and much more
11. The Big green Army truck courtesy of the egg man Gerald.

AL (al6517) & Monty (Buckguy20): Commitee chairmen.

Hey...I was looking over the list that Carah has posted and I want to know what the heck I'm supposed to do with "clubhouse affairs"? I'm not sure what a clubhouse affair is...LOL I've taken care of the entertainment but don't know what else.

Teach...you behave now....you too Monty and Al.

Glad nobody told me to behave.

A "clubhouse affair" can be very entertaining with the right people involved!!!

Donna I also don't what a clubhouse affair is but it sounded very official at the time

[al6517]

Well tomorrow is my POOPS prep day going around gathering up all the required misc stuff and cooking. I have a list a mile long......................sorry Donna I haven't lost it and I know right where it is ......... hehehehehehehe.
Kevin in Nevada sent me some Hatching eggs to bring to POOPS, I hope they arrive in time and intact.

AL

 

[luv2bmemaw2]

Al...don't know why I hadn't noticed it before. I was going over what all I had to do...thought I better check and see what else I needed to do...saw Carah post that and thought....WHOOW... I have to take care of "clubhouse affairs". Gosh...that could be a little tough...sure don't want to have to testify about stuff like that. LOL

Evening Al...were you trying to make me sound important or just make yourself sound very professional....LOL

Sooner it means that I have been in the coop with a grouchy Broody, then I came in and found that I had a mad hen in the house (Carolyn) so I went back out to the coop to stay with the less grouchy of the two!

 

[luv2bmemaw2]

Al..if I lost my list at this point...I would lose everything. I'd just have to throw a pair of undies in a bag, grab a tooth brush, and kiss Claremore goodbye...cause outside of someone about to die or is already dead I'm not missing POOPS. I can't even describe how bad I need this trip.

Al, Teach, Monty, Q, and EVERYBODY else better be on their toes cause I surely need some laughs. I'm so stressed out...my sister has been causing havoc on me over my folks estate...she's always wanted what everybody else has and I need a break.

So, MAKE ME LAUGH...cause it's good for the soul. I'm ready for some real fun. Heck, we may have to play a game of hide and go seek Friday night.
