Michigan State Meet at the Fall Fowl Fest
John:
There were 882 birds entered in the show. Judges were Paul Gilroy and Gary Overton, but I don't know who judged the Ameraucanas yet. They did a separate Jr show this year :(, so they could be released today making that a one day show. There was a Jr LF entered as a wheaten, but it wasn't an Ameraucana. One bantam in the Jr show was a blue (BV/BB) by Robert Blair.
Jerry Segler's LF black pullet will be on Champion Row in the morning...Champion AOSB! ;)
The weather was nice with lots of sunshine and there were many poultry friends to talk with.
Russ:
Well the birds are home and back in the pens. I just want to take a minute and send a congrats to Jerry. This was an awesome show with a bunch of awesome people. It was good to talk to some of the legends Jerry, Jeanne, James and John. I strongly recommend if you have never had the opportunity to attend this show make plans for it next year. It is filled with some of the nicest people a person can meet, not to mention all the extra sights you can see. The falls colors were really starting to pop which made for a wonderful drive home. The only problem I had was all the birds in the sale area. I think my wife is regretting leaving the children and I unattended Saturday, seeing how a trio of White Bantam Cornish, pair of Grey Call Ducks and a Bantam Lavender Ameraucana ended up in our trailor ;D. Thanks again John for bailing me out ;)

And the other Ameraucana BB RB wins were divided between your daughter, Marina, and you. ;)
Mike Gilbert:
Congratulations to Russ and to Jerry! I could be wrong, but I don't remember Jerry winning a Best of Class before, but please correct me if that is not right. Anyway, nice going you two!
Russ:
Yeah all she talked about was how her black bantam almost beat my blue ;D. I was starting to get nervous when he was putting them side by side and double checking them two or three times. All I could think of is how are we going to fit her big head into the car ??? As always the whole family had a blast, and we got a free pass on the extras we brought home.......seems my wife brought home a few extras from the big outlet mall across from fowl fest :-\
