2006 ABC National Meet

(1/5) > >>

John:
ABC members know from the last Bulletin that the Board Of Directors will vote this coming weekend on the location of our 2006 National Meet.
We still have only three offers:
The Crossroads of America, in Indiana,
The Eastern Iowa Poultry Association show, and
The Bay City Poultry Club show, in Michigan.
I will submit a ballot to the Board members, via Email, on the 15th and they have the final word.
Any comments?

Guest:
I vote for Bay City Michigan!  :p

faith valley:
I would suggest the Crossroads of America.

1. Many of the other club National meets will be placed there.  It will be a huge show and we would have the best turn out of members.  
2.IN is centrally located within the US, which would shorten the distance of travel for more members, which would enable more to attend.
3. All the proceeds of the show (after bills) will be donated to the APA/ABA youth program.  I feel that it is very important to support our kids\' program.  The kids will be our poultry breeders in the future.
4. Indianapolis will have a larger selection of hotels I would think- although I have not researched this.
5.The Crossroad\'s show is planning many seminars and activities to take place during the show weekend.  There will be contests for the youth as well as special activities just for them.
6. Being an APA/ABA joint meet with thousands of birds entered is a pretty big reason too.  I would think we would want to be a part of that wonderful show.

Since I live way out West, of course, none of these are feasible
to me.  
So I ask myself..when I attend shows.

Where are the largest number of the members living?
So a larger number of exhibitors can attend and bring birds.
Because, I like to compare my birds to others of my breed,
and see where I might need improvement.  If I am the only one
showing breed and want to see how my birds stack up to the other exhibitor friends birds( what a disappointment if none or very few.)  It\'s always
fun to be able to exchange breed information with fellow breeders of the breed or breeds one might be showing.

Where would the best facilities be for holding the show?
Accessability to the show area (easiest driving route), parking, motels. RV grounds with hookups.,
I know it makes a difference to me...I hate to arrive and have
difficulty in finding and gaining access to the show.

These are a few of the things I consider where and when I show.
Thanks, I hope its a great success whereever it may be...
Bay City has a really nice website...good job.
thanks, phil
