Vote for your choice of location for Northern California Chickenstock

[OrpingtonManor]

We've talked and talked for weeks. We seem to agree that we want to bring chickens for swapping. We couldn't find parks that would let us do that. We have narrowed down the choices to the following:

Cole Creek Center in Kelseyville, near Clear Lake - suggested by kelseygirl
it belongs to her parents, and would not cost anything

Gold County Fairgrounds in Auburn - suggested by suzettex5
we aren't sure if it is available, and there is a $160 fee if we can get the small animal barn

Grassy area near the Mandarin packaging warehouse, in Penryn - suggested by suzettex5
it is available, and would not cost anything

Cheryl's place in Lafayette - suggested by cherylcohen
it would not cost anything, but there has been a case of Marek's on the property in recent months, so biosecurity would be an issue to discuss heavily.

Good job!

If it ends up being a close vote between two that I didn't pick I want to re-vote!

You probably should take my place off the list because I don't want anyone to take anything home, unless we can hermetically spray everyone as they leave my house LOL

What is Grassy area by mandarin packaging warehouse in Penryn. Is it nice? shady, water, bathrooms available?

Has anyone asked John at Alamo if he knows a place?

Just curious, can we bring birds to Penryn?

Also remember that at the Cole Creek Center, there is a BBQ pit, 2 bathrooms, swimming pool, 120 Acres of beautiful land, the state park campground, fishing, and the arena that everything would be set up is covered and cool from the June heat. Plenty of parking, and best of all it's completely free.

Also I want to add, we have tables and chairs available for the event too. We can eat under the covered arena or under beautiful oak trees. All is available for the BYC group.

I'd love for it to be in Penryn or Auburn, but I could make it to Kelseyville, too!

I think now that the place in Kelsyville sounds like a really good choice. It looks like it has the most to offer. The fairgrounds are nice too, but free is great, and a campground area sounds very family friendly!

How long till the poll closes?

I would like to change my vote from Penryn TO Kelseyville although its looking like its got the majority already! I changed my mind!
