Just to let you know, I will be wearing a blue denim button-up shirt that has, "Love me, Love my Chickens" embroidered on it. Also, Cammie (a.k.a. - CountryRoad1330) and me know each other - somewhat

- but, we should be able to help you locate each other, Okiechick

I'm not really sure what time I will be there... probably around noonish until 3:00...

 

[GracefulBantams]

Oh, Buckguy, will you have a BYC name tag on??

 

[msbliss]

Have any of you been to a show before? Wondering if, along with the judging, there are vendors as well? Hummm.....tempting, it's a 2 1/2 hr drive from here (Ft Smith area) tho

 

[GracefulBantams]

I have been there before. There is one vendor in the chicken area and one on the pigeon area (or at least that was how it was last year). The one in the main poultry/chicken area had all sorts of feeders, waters, leg bands, show equipment, books.... lots of stuff.

I am not real crafty! I don't know if can create my own custom yellow name tag. How about if I just wear a shirt with a buck on the front?
I think I'll just lurk until I see you guys then I'll follow you around. No, thats sounds like I am a stalker. Oh well I will come up with something.

The forecast for next weeekend is temps in the 60's and a 20% chance of rain. Of course we Oklahomans know that the weather around here can change quickly. So don't hold me to that forecast
Yes there will be birds for sale.

The weather update for Saturday is temps in the low sixties with a 20% percent rain chance. The chance of rain goes up on Saturday night and Sunday to 80% with a chance that we might get some freezing parcipitation. In Oklahoma that means just wait and see because we could get just rain or five inches of ice. You never know for sure until it hits. I think the main chance for any freezing stuff is Sunday and Monday.
