NATIONAL MEET - GREAT FALLS, MONTANA

[Mike Gilbert]

Mary and I returned from vacation this morning, and almost immediately had a phone call from Koralyn Kibbee, our former Western District Director, who is coordinating the awards for our 2007 national meet to be held in Great Falls, Montana, this October.     A few members have contributed to the awards fund, but there is still time to participate.   Mail or call Koralyn a.s.a.p. if you want to be included as an awards donor.      Also, the Montana club will not be mailing show catalogs to each A.B.C. member, so you need to contact her or the show secretary to receive an entry form and catalog.
Koralyn\'s address is:   Larry and Koralyn Kibbee, 9069 Wooden Shoe, Manhattan, Montana  59741.   Or call her evenings (Mountain time) at (406)284-6978.    You can also contact the show secretary, Sharon Eliasson, directly at (406)323-1655.    Finally, our current Western Director, Lisa Cree, can be reached at (360)830-2732.    Any of the three should be able to help.    But don\'t delay!   Last Call!!!

Thanks for the reminder Mike. Dick and I won\'t be able to make the trip but would like to make a contribution. Who should the check be made out to?

Okay, I\'ve been in touch with Lisa. Checks should be sent to Koralyn and be made out to Koralyn.

Sure - I\'m sure we can find a place to get together.   Once we get a show catalog, maybe there will be some info in it too.
Getting together is the best part of the meet!

I plan to attend the show also.  I am trying to bring a little something as a prize for a variety/winner yet to be determined.  

I will contact Koralyn if I can get the details straightened out.

Thanks,

Jean

The show book is posted on the index page of the club website along with the entry form. I apologize for the slow load on the show book.

I thought I read somewhere to send our eggs for the egg contest to someone...

But, can I bring them with me?

Jean

If you are not attending the show, you may ship them to Koralyn at the address in the first thread of this post. You may bring them for yourself and others also if attending in person.

Just wanted to bump this up let everyone know that I put a batch of eggs in the incubator yesterday morning so I can bring some chicks to the show.

I am really excited to go to this show and meet all that can attend.

We will be leaving in two weeks.  We are allowing 3 days travel time to make the 1600 mile trip.  If anyone wants us to bring some birds to buy, contact us soon. sw_psmith@swmail.net

I am looking for 1-2 nice quality white pullets if any has some to bring.  

Thanks,

Jean

The Muenks\' will be leaving home early tomorrow morning for Great Falls and we hope it snows! We are leaving in summer clothes and have a box of winter with us just in case! Safe travels everyone . ..

Wishing everyone a safe and fun journey.   Bob Walchak picked up my meager entry of 13 bantams last night and is planning to leave this morning (Thursday).   I have a young man looking for some wheaten or blue wheaten bantam females, and Bob and I are sold out for the year.   So if you have any extra, take them to Great Falls and Bob will pick them up and bring them back here.   Incidentally, Bob took champion AOCCL at the Wisconsin International last weekend with a wheaten pullet.   The show went over 2200 birds from what I hear.
