Debbie:
Cute! I see some chicken and child bonding in our future. It will be fun to see what everyone comes up with. Poor Snapple, I also see more chicken torture coming her way, haha.

I would go with a choice of the two topics I mentioned earlier. Essay open to all juniors up through age 17 at the time of the show. Between 200 - 300 words. Information and knowledge to count 75%, spelling and punctuation 25%. Submit to yours truly by September 1, 2014, along with first choice of varieties available. Can't think of anything else right now. I doubt very much I'll be able to attend, but I'll try to send the trio with Jerry and Jake if they have the room, or perhaps someone else coming from this way. I won't guarantee the variety at this time, but it could be brown red, wheaten, buff, or white. The latter would be from Walchak birds recently acquired - some of the best in the land, along with Jerry's of course. I am not aware of any better brown reds either, as far as that goes. Winning essay would hopefully be printed in the newsletter.
Sharon Yorks:
That sounds great, Mike. I will work on a flyer and send it to you for critiquing before we post. Thank you for your donation and support! It is very much appreciated :)
Debbie:
I was thinking if we did a photo/art type contest we could have the entries submitted prior to the national meet, then have people attending the show who drop by the both vote for thier favorite. Or post the entries on the ABC fb page and ask for votes?
Mike Gilbert:
I will add one more stipulation to the essay contest. No "help" from parents or other adults. That gets to be a slippery slope. The work is to be done and submitted by the junior only.
