The 2013 National held in Great Falls Montana sported 108 ameraucanas. There were 64 bantams and 44 large fowl shown. I believe a combined total of 10 people exhibited birds. We also had a District Meet held in the second show. The National was judged by Sam Brush.

Thanks for posting the results. We had such a great time at our first Ameraucana show. It was fun to meet everyone. We took home some great new birds and we were very proud of how well Walter's birds did in MT.
Jean, please update our last name when you get a chance to Malcolm. Thanks again and hope to see you all at another breed show. -the Malcolm Family

We returned home Sun. evening about 4 pm. Had a very uneventful trip(thats a good thing). Had a great time in great Falls.Was nice to see all the Ameraucana breeders that were able to make it. The Montana people are really great hosts. Had a great show and Jerry still cant believe the Lifetime Achievement award.
Hope everyone else made it home safe.

I can't think of anyone more deserving of that award Jerry. It was earned. Congratulations!

Here are some photos of some of the winning bantams. I took pictures of all the winners, but many of the photos are just not good enough to post...birds didn't pose, blurry, grainy, etc.

...and a few large fowl.

Nice pictures!

Thanks for taking the time to take and post pics! It really helps those of us who can't get to many shows help develop an "eye". Its really appreciated.

Jerry,
You took a good photo. I think John had more photos of people at the show. I know I photobombed somebody. :P

I have also been informed that Jerry DeSmidt's black ameraucana pullet won Champion LF in the National show and the blue cockerel won Champion AOSB and Champion LF in the District Meet.

Jerry, was it the same LF blue cockerel that took BV in the National Meet? Jerry, you continue to do a great job with those bantam blues also. You and Russ Blair have the best on the planet.

Since you brought it up...here is Jodie Vetter talking with Mike Gilbert and the photobomber to the right. It looks like she is pinching Mike in the behind to get him moving, but in reality she was a few feet away (really, Mary, I was there).
I'll include some of the other photos of people at the meet in the Fall Bulletin.

Here is Bob Rennolet judging eggs with Jean's daughter, Grace, assisting.

Now there is a great looking pair - Bob and Gracie!

Was the Arne Schmidt Memorial Traveling Plaque awarded this year? If so, who won it and which variety is up for it next year?
-
Jerry won it on Black, so next year it'll be blue.

Jean,
I got the Poultry Press in today's mail. Thanks for writing the article. Free publicity, promoting our club and breed is always great!
