Why not?

Because they are not APA sanctioned, no real competition, the birds must remain there overnight, and my birds are SQ and I do not trust to leave my birds in there, often unattended, not to mention the thousands of people that walk through there, with a potential to infect my birds...the risk is not worth it.

I see your reasoning, but not all fairs are non-sanctioned. The Tulsa State Fair is an APA/ABA sanctioned show. It's a good way to educate others on a dying hobby in America. I have always and will continue to show in local fairs...for fun and for the health of the hobby (addiction....).

None around here are sanctioned, and even if they were, I still would not show there
