The Official Forum of the Ameraucana Breeders Club > Exhibiting & Promoting
It\'s time to start plans on the 2012 National
Paul:
I\'d appreciate input especially from potential exhibitors at the 2012 national which will be Oct. 27 at Sedalia, Missouri.
First, what do we want for awards this year? My source for making the plaques is now retired and doesn\'t do any trophy work anymore. We will have to totally start over. Hopefully I\'ll be able to find someone in Denton or Sherman willing to make the brass plates and I\'ll do the wood and assembly work. We still have some walnut lumber. Aretha Mahan painted plates and mugs for the BV and RV respectfully. Do we want the painted awards again this year? If so I\'ll need to get Aretha started painting them.
Received a suggestion of having an Ameraucana seminar along with the National meet! It could be a very good tool to help new comers in Ameraucanas and help others who are undecided-to come on in! Any thoughts?
We will need motel accommodations for the ABC. We used the Best Western near the state fairgrounds in 2005. They even set-up a buffet dinner for us for Saturday night. Any suggestions?
In the past the adjacent barn has been used as a sale barn for poultry. Do we want to keep the Ameraucanas together as a group or scattered through out the barn?
Do we want to have an egg contest? If so-any volunteers to run it?
An ABC table promoting the breed will also need to be run.
Anymore suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks Jes and David.

Paul, it\'s hard to beat those painted plates and mugs, but we have a lot of them and they do take up space. Does she do goblets? Are her prices about the same? I think we should have an egg contest. Since it is a one day show, I think maybe we should plan an outing for the night before, and then maybe another Saturday night for the awards ceremony. I believe we were happy with the motel last time, but it will be seven years since the last time there.
