Shows in the south

[Jess]

Good Evening,
Does anyone know of any shows that will take place in my area, MS. AL. LA. or TN.
I sure would like to attend one just too see what all takes place.
I had planed to go to a couple up in the mid west. But with the price of gas going up everyday I don\'t know if I will be able to drive that far.
Thanks for any info.
Jess

Jess:

I will pull together a list of meets from the last few years from your region that the Club had meets at and post them here.

Jess,
The Poultry Press has ads for many shows.  These are not ABC meets that I know of, but poultry shows just the same.

Volunteer State Poultry Club, April 23 in Dickson, TN. amishelton122408@yahoo.com

http://exhibitionpoultry.net/ is also a great source of info - they have an extensive list of upcoming shows.

These are probably further than you want to come, but thought I\'d throw them out there under the heading of southern shows for anyone else who may be reading:

I showed my Black and Blue Ameraucanas at the Feb and March shows in Morganton, NC.  There were over 900-1000 birds at each show but my Ameraucanas were the only ones there.  It would be much nicer if another ABC member was showing too.

Luann: Christina Teague and I are both planning on being at the Southern Hospitality Show, and I\'m bringing a couple of blacks. Come on up! :-)

Jess:

The ABA Bulletin I received has the following shows listed for your area as ABA meets:

4-9-11
Alabama Showbird Association,
Cari Locklear, alabanashowbird@gmail.com

5-7-11
Something to Crow About, TN

The links folks have shared are all good places to find information about poultry shows.

We have had very few requests from members for ABC meets in the Southeastern District over the last few years. The following is the list of shows hosting Ameraucana Breeders Club meets in the last few years near the area you indicated:

I know it\'s too late for the Southern Hospitality Show, but what is the deadline for calling a meet?

[bantamhill]

The Club constitution requires that meets be published in the bulletin. So June-fall 2011 meets should be requested now. The deadline for advertisements, articles, and meets for the next bulletin is May 15, 2011.
