Just want to say I had a great time at the show, and congrats to everyone who won something!

We're finally home, and relaxing for an hour before we unload the birds, etc... We had a great time! Of course, kicking booty on champion row helped! LOL One of my teeny tiny 4-H boys brought home 6 ribbons I think for ONE of his ducks! He won Champion Waterfowl in both shows with his black East Indie cockerel that he bred himself. It was so great!!

Another of my 4-H kids won Reserve Featherleg in both shows with two different buff Brahmas too. And my son got his Showgirl cockerel evaluated by Sheryl Butler, with GREAT reviews!

It was great to see most of our chicken friends, and meet some new ones, missed some others. All in all, a fantastic weekend!

I'm glad I went, wish I could have stayed longer. I would have come home with a bird or two if I stayed any longer.

Made it back before Mariah left for the homecoming dance and saw the two of them dressed up. The dress and bowling shoes later last night I can only imagine.

I am finally home! It took forever to get back and I am ready for bed. I enjoyed chatting chicken with everyone, hope we can all have a more organized effort to have a mini BYC meet up in the spring. I talked with 5 members and think I saw some others but didn't say hello. Great job everyone!

Pulled in the driveway at 10:05 and unloaded everyone. Got to bed at 11:45.....

Not a fun ride home, forgot a bird and hit road debris on the highway. Trailer needs a new fender again.

Thanks Jeanine for picking up my baby. I doubt she'll want to take another "road trip".

On the bright side though, I won Champion of Show in both shows with my sebastopol gander.

Glad ya made it home OK. I can relate to the trailer thing. I pulled in and heard a hissing. Seems I picked up a screw in a trailer tire. Last trip out I had a blow out that shredded the tire.
Glad it worked out to get your girl home. Isn't it amazing how fast a plan can come together like that. Sorry I was too far behind ya to relay.

Fowl enough to dent my fender.

No problem! I had an empty XL crate, and she's a sweet girl, she's welcome to stay as long as necessary.

CONGRATULATIONS again on your HUGE win!! That gander is absolutely stunning!!!

I might have you keep her to Chehalis. I'm going to try and talk my hubbie into letting me go......

Did you hear what the number count on the birds entered was?
