These are out-of-focus, but lets try...

It may be worth saying that the photo of the bantam blue wheaten pullet by Jerry DeSmidt was champion Ameraucana over all - large and bantam.    There were 133 bantams entered and 118 large fowl, so a real nice win for Jerry.  I\'m sorry the photo does not do the bird justice.   Also, the bantam brown red hen shown by yours truly was reserve champion Ameraucana bantam, still an ABA starred win.  She does not have the purple cast in real life - I\'m not a great photographer.     The birds I brought for neighbor Bob Walchak did OK too.   Bob had BV and RV on white bantams.   Over the past five national meets, Bob has now won nine of the top ten awards on white bantams.   And he has had some excellent competition from Al Nichols, Jerry DeSmidt, and others.    So congratulations Bob - sorry you could not be there, but the records show you are doing great with those white bantams.

By the way, here\'s a link to a download for a terrific and very fast picture resizer for anyone interested.  You can resize a bunch at one time.  There are others I\'m sure, but this is the one I\'ve used for a couple of years now and I really like it, and it was free!

I\'ll be back tomorrow to see the rest of the pictures.  Thank you Jean and John and anyone else who took photos.  They are very much appreciated.

Thanks for the post, pictures, and information!  What a great time you must\'ve all had.  Great looking birds and everyone looks like they were just having a grand time.

I am so envious.

Now I must add one more thing to my list of confessions - ah but maybe next year!

God Bless,
