Anyone else get the email notice of another show in Elma on June 4th?

I got word that this show may have moved to June 4th in Elma. Please contact Larry Urban, 360-273-7705 I have no knowledge of the ends and outs of this poultry show.
This show has no ties with the Washington Feather Fanciers.
I apologize if you get duplicates of this message; I am sending this message to members of our website as well to reach as many people as I can for the show, Thanks!
Thanks again.

So, you're a pro welder, then (I thought so probably)? Did you work on the Steam Plant, ever? My Uncle Fred did some of the work on the original boiler system.

I'm seriously considering just sinking the budget in expensive bird netting and covering the whole back yard: yesterday I had four eagles in the sky at once (spring salmon must be running) and at various times the resident redtails, both Cooper's and Sharpshin hawks, two ravens being chased by about twenty crows, and a falcon scare: probably the Merlin again, but the Peregrines down at the port use this area for a high turn-around when they're hunting downtown.

I've observed, over (mumble mumble higher number than I will admit) years of birdwatching that any falcon on the wing from a Kestrel on up to a gyrfalcon elicits the same reaction: a mad scramble into the air with every bird for itself and the devil take the hindmost, everything from kinglets to ravens (not hummingbirds, which are unafraid of the larger world, having to worry about other hummingbirds) launching themselves upward and zig-zagging wildly. Apparently there's no time to assess if the scythe shadow is a close merlin or a relatively distant peregrine: take time to decide if you're at risk and you're feathery lunch.

Yes I am tripple certified welder. And can actually say my welds are bomb proof. No I didn't work on the steam plant.
