Considering all the adverse restrictions that the Texas State Fair Poultry Show now imposes on its exhibitors
1. 50 day before the show entry deadline
2. extra hassle of entrance through gate #15 rather than gate #2-so PT papers can be shown which were sent in with the entries!!!
3. purchase of a parking permit
4. only one exhibitor pass
5. new rule of no advertisements allowed along with the extra heavy traffic that the fair creates, the extremely high food prices, the possibility of the TAHC quarantining every ones flock who showed, and the weekend before our ABC national we have decided not to enter any birds this year. There are many other shows in the area that are more exhibitor friendly than the Texas Stat Fair. It is scheduled to be an ABC meet. The entry deadline is Friday September 1, so get your entries sent in if you want to show. We will try to make it to the fair on Saturday Oct. 21, to see the birds and all who showed!

P.S. We committed to showing at the Texas State Fair before knowing some of their new requirements which pushed this show into the "no show zone". Sorry if you were counting on Angela & I to be there. We will try to make the new April show in Dallas.
