Oregon Summer Poultry Swap, Redmond, June 18th

[Oregon Blues]

The Redmond dog show is July 1,2, and 3, 2011

I agree, that's a bad weekend for me as well!

I'm thinking June 28th is sounding best for everyone so far, unless for any reason disaster strikes.

LOCATION...

The Tumalo Park would be fantastic - I will for sure look into that! Unfortunately you have to pay for parking, but would that be worth it for us all?

Rhonda also suggested Sawyer Park, off OB Riley Road (look at Google maps - use satellite mode). It's a quieter park, not a ton of parking but I think plenty for the swap and it's SHADY. We may have perfect weather, but we may be in the middle of a heat wave. With Central Oregon, who knows, it might be snowing

RAFFLE

- 6mo BYC Golden Feather Membership (WallTenters)
- A small brooder built by my dear honey bunches of oats (yes, that's what I call him!) (WallTenters)
- Incredible Goat Milk Soap! (K7Menagerie)
- Feed bag tote (Celtic)



Wall Tenters

BRINGING
- Hatching eggs, Dominiques, Orpingtons, Americaunas and EEs.
- Possibly some Japanese Bantams if Rhonda's boys have made their decisions on who they're keeping by then.
- Will probably have a few started pullets, cockerels and chicks of the breeds above.

WANTING
- Always want show/breeder quality hatching eggs, I love American and English breeds, heritage is always good
- Started plants! I need them!!

And food, I love fresh food.
- I will pay $2ea for heritage meat/dp birds 14-18 weeks. Sorry I'm cheap, but I have enough of my own, but if someone has extras at least you won't have to take them home!
- Might consider a nice B/B/S Orpington pullet or two, nice large show/breeder quality birds
- A nice Blue Americauna pullet with lines to compliment what Rhonda's got already... please email me - my inbox is super full!
- Eating duck or two. I've never cooked a whole duck and would like to try a couple. Maybe trade for eggs? Or will pay asking price

Oh my we're starting to get this thing going

I will keep the list updated as often as possible, please also add if you can add anything to the raffle.

I've added a brooder box (2'x3') that will be built by me and my dearest Keith, who is sleeping on the couch and has no idea of my evil plans.

If we can all bring just a little something (a plant, a pretty beaded bracelet, etc.). I think it would be best to draw the first number, let that person pick their prize (since not everyone needs a GFM, or a brooder) then draw the next name, etc.

I'll add some of my goats milk soap! Oh, this is gonna be great!

Hi i'm in and will help in any way I can. Dont have any wants right now. Will pitch in a feed bag tote for raffle. Should have eggs for sell and maybe some crafts.

So June 28th is a Tuesday, right?? Is that really the day of the swap meet instead of a weekend? Just wondering..........seems like you would get a much better turn-out on a weekend.

Hey Guys, June 28th is a Monday! Is that what you are planning?

I'd love to come but if you are switching it to June 26 (Sunday) I have the Canby dog shows that weekend

I don't know what I'd have to bring, hopefully a LOT of turkey poults, perfect time to start seriously fattening them up for fall plates!

 

[WallTenters]

Oh my... I'm too tired! It would be the 25th, that Saturday. Ooh, the day after my birthday! You'll have to bring me birthday goodies from my want list! lol

 

[seabreeze]

Ohhh, I might be ring stewarding if not exhibiting at the Canby shows that same weekend....bummer!
