It was the 1st time for me at this show, yesterday, in Lebanon...not far from Indy. There were 977 birds in the show with another 689 in a separate junior show for a total of 1,666 entered. I rode down with Matt Boensch, superintendent of our Fowl Fest show, Friday afternoon and we came back Saturday night. It was a one day show and coop out time was around 3:30, so it went by pretty fast with many judges. It is a nice fairground facility with newer buildings friendly show management. The weather was kind of cold with some rain.
It wasn't an ABC meet, but Duane Schroeder stopped by. I talked to others that I knew and met several fanciers that I hadn't met before.
I entered 4 bantams and 2 large fowl Ameraucanas. Out of 6 bantams a wheaten pullet by Kathy Dillon won BB. Out of 8 large fowl I had BB on a black hen. A a pullet looked better to me but the judge found stubs on her. No Ameraucana made it to Champion Row.
