We had a great time, despite the confusion of our first ever show and the long drive.
We got reserve in Continental Class (Large Fowl) with our Barnevelder pullet.
And my daughter, 10, won a best in breed with her pullet.
Things I learned:
1) NO ONE checked for pullorum certificates or leg bands. (This bothers me quite a bit...) Waiting for our certificate is what made us a late entry and we nearly missed the show
2) Be prepared for a LOT of sitting around..... rush to get to a show at 9 AM and sit until awards at 3 PM!
4) Modern Games are very cool looking birds!!
5) Everyone (including and especially the judges) was WAY nicer and more helpful than at dog shows!
6) There are WAY more bantams than LF at the shows.... I don't know why this was surprising, but it was to me.
Thanks to everyone there, we had a great time and hope to do more showing!
