John:
Just got home! It was just over a 700 mile drive that took over 12 1/2 hours.
It was a fun weekend of fowl fellowship with old and new friends.
Stay tuned for the show results and some photos...
Mike Gilbert:
We got home Monday afternoon. Bob Walchak has been here already and picked up his load of winnings.
I know he was very pleased, as he should be. He had BB bantam on a white cockerel and RB bantam on a wheaten pullet. All his birds at the show had been presold. I don't know for sure if the cockerel went any further, as did not get to spend much time at the show, unfortunately. Michael or Paul will fill in the rest of the information and I'm pretty sure Paul will share photos.

The district directors rely on the secretary for a lot of help with the national meets and these guys did a great job, as usual, working together. Even though many of us only see each other once a year we have developed friendships closer than some neighbors and relatives.
Jean couldn't be there, so honorary VP Mike Gilbert was going to officiate the annual club meeting but he couldn't be at the show when the meeting was going on so Michael took charge. Paul's son, Matthew, was the official photographer as the awards were handed out and he took photos of the winning birds.
Several of us met at Pizza Hut on Friday evening and we had a large group at the Golden Coral on Saturday.
There were quite a few very nice Ameraucana for sale in the sale area. The weather was nice and that's the way it was. ;)

Cherie and I had a super time this year. We started out in Wichita to get her a Angora rabbit at the ARBA national show and then headed to Sedalia. Sedalia is kind of special because this is where I got into Ameraucanas hard-core. Great to see all of the super birds and try to measure mine up to what was shown. Got some good tips and advice too. Fact be told Cherie actually bought a pair of birds which suprised the socks off of me considering she never really has shown much interest in mine. She got a pair of bantam red cochins because they were just sooooo cute. Just when you thought you knew someone they turn around and throw you a curve. Ain't life gfrand?

I just attended my first National ABC show. I had a great, but short time in Sedelia. I had a chance to put faces with names I had seen on the forum. Also a chance to see some really nice Ameraucanas. I Stopped back Saturday afternoon to chat again with Mike Gilbert but John said he had a valid excuse for not being at the show at that time. So Mike, here's warning you I'll have to run you down at a future show. Thanks Micheal for doing a great job at the Ameraucana table and running the meeting. Matthew Smith said he wanted to win the raffle for the black Fowl Stuff nest. Well, he did just that! I accused him of putting glue on his ticket stub. Well, better close and start getting ready for our Nebraska State Poultry Show this week end.
