A huge CONGRATULATIONS to our friends in Oklahoma that put together another one of the most successful ChickenStocks of all time!!!

Even if you're not an Okie, you hopefully have heard of POOPS (People,Of,Oklahoma, Poultry, Swap)... if not, then you must be living under a rock!

The event brought together about 200 people who and at least 2000 birds and was such a big success that local news picked it up! The POOPS TV special link can be found here: http://www.kfor.com/community/greatstate/ (Check out the GREAT BYC mentions!)

Thanks Rob and BYC!

This year's "POOPS" was attended by people from Tennessee and Kansas and Texas (thanks for the reminder Doc Henry!), and we would love to have more people from other states attend. Our get-together's location has traditionally been at the KOA campgrounds near Choctaw, OK right off of I-40. It's only a few miles from Shawnee, OK - so those of you who make the trip to the Shawnee Poultry Show know where that is.

Don't forget me city! I made the trip from central Texas and will make it every year from now on it was well worth it. The Okies have a way of making folks feel right at home no matter where you are from. I can't thank them all enough and I can't wait for the next swap. LONG LIVE P.O.O.P.S!

You're right Doc - I can't believe I missed you after you drove 6 or more hours from the Austin area - I am sorry! I'm going back now to edit my original post so I won't look so blonde...I mean forgetful!!
