Now that I have more time to write, I'll address the judge question. In the past, the Missouri State double judged show has had one judge placing the bantams, while another judge places the large fowl. Later in the day, after both judges are finished with their classes, they swap positions and place the other classes.
To keep our National Meet, and Missouri State meet on a more equal basis, I'm betting that Bernita Miller and the MSPA will let us have our choice of the four judges to judge each complete (both bantams and large fowl) in one judging. Most likely Larry Denny will be judging the jr. show. If so, that leaves three-Art Reiber, Diana Dahir and Dwayne Ballard.
In 2005, the MSPA specially arranged the show room so the Ameraucana LF were on one side of the main aisle and the Ameraucana bantams were on the other side. If I remember correctly Ameraucanas made up over one-fifth of the entire show! Lets do it again! Please bring some! Entries must be post marked by Oct. 12, 2012.
