Greetings from the Master Cup show!
Sharon Yorks:
That is so awesome, Max! I am SO happy for you! Thanks for taking such good care of Clubber and for taking him on to more shows so he could compete. I knew I named that bird right!!!
Clubber... the big black dude who kicked butt in the ring...(Rocky 3)
I'm a huge Rocky fan! :)
Congratulations to John, too! Thanks for posting, Mike.
Mike Gilbert:
You should have heard the emcee, Ronnie Lopes, doing his Rocky impression! He was great and told us he had some Ameraucanas at his home in Bermuda - had eggs shipped in from Jamie Matts. AND he joined the ABC. One of the first things he did Saturday at the show was get the crowd to sing happy birthday to yours truly (71st - ouch!) BTW, the black cockerel in the top ten was rated the 10th best bird in the show. A black Rosecomb pullet by Dr. Bill Patterson was the $1,000 prize winner. Best I was able to do was 3rd AOCCL on a White Chantecler pullet. I did win $25 in one of the drawings, and Mary won a $50 gift certificate from McMurray hatchery. The owner of McMurrays, Bud Wood, was helping to clean up after the banquet, and had employees there helping out as well. Gotta rethink the whole thing with McMurray's. Formal banquet last night, dress-up white tablecloth affair catered by one of the best restaurants in the state. Wonderful time by all. There are photos on Facebook. Friend Mark Peterson, as he posted them.
Clif Redden:
Congratulations you guys, it's awesome to see Ameraucanas win and place.
