2013 NC District Meet at the Fowl Fest!
« on: January 24, 2013, 09:21:30 PM »
Duane has placed the NC District Meet at the Fowl Fest, October 12 - 13, in Birch Run, Michigan.  Go to the Fowl Fest site for more information about the show. It is just a few blocks off I-75 in the Birch Run Expo Center, near the Premier Outlets and about seven miles from Frankenmuth!
Several of as ABC members are also members of Chantecler Fanciers International and this will also be the CFI National Meet.  I plan to show both breeds and I can think of at least 4 other ABC/CFI members that will probably do the same.  How about you?

Thank you Duane :D

Barb,

Are you in Ontario?  Ontario license plates are an everyday site in Birch Run and Frankenmuth.  Do you also have Chanteclers?  It will be the national meet for that breed club, so I'm sure we'll others at the show from over the border.

Victor Hakes of Twin City Poultry Supplies will be at the Fowl Fest again.  If you place orders with him now you can pick up your merchandise at the show and save on shipping costs.  I plan to place my order for Marek's vaccine.

Great to hear such a good forecast. I have a question John, will they let me spot a trailer in the parking lot after coop in? That way I don't have to take it to Zehnders with us. I was not planning on bringing it but my dear wife put  off making reservations until this week  :o. So needless to say we had to rent a family suite so we will probably bring some extra kids with us which means more luggage and less room in vehicle  ::)

I don't think that is a problem and believe a lot of folks leave their trailers, but Matt Boensch is the guy to check with.  Here is his email address: mjwaterfowl (no space here) @yahoo.com

Gas was $3.27 and 9/10ths in Birch Run this evening.  It was about a dime higher at the I-75 exits south and north of Birch Run.

UPDATE 10/10/13...
It's $3.25 at Sunoco and $3.47 at Citgo, but others are still $3.27.
