Hi all,
We just attended our 1st apa/aba judged show! It was held on Saturday, Jan 3rd in College Station, TX.
All in all it was anice show. The show was held at the Louis Pearce pavilion on the campus of Texas A&M. Well organized, show committee did a great job of setting up show area and there was even a sale area! The club also had a silent auction and two different raffles: the 1st raffle had over 100 items in it and the tickets were only 3 for $1.00... the 2nd raffle was a 50/50 cash raffle.. money collected was divided between the one ticket drawn and the club.. The winner, (not me.. ) won $160.00!!! WOW..
We showed our bantam and large fowl Araucana; and 5 of our Ameraucanas. Our new blue cockerel, Trooper(6 mos old) took BOB and BOV. Trooper comes from Willow Creek Heritage Farms. Our white hen, Chastity, took BOB and BOV. Our white Cockerel, from Jean Ribbecks lines, took ROB. Our white pullet, Moon, took 1st and our blue pullet was disqualified because judge found a pure white feather under her wing! oops.. i never saw that feather before!!!
There were over 600 birds entered and it was quite a nice show. Actually, there were only 30 separate exhibitors..
Pictures will be up on our website later today:
