Title: Stockton Show premium list is out. Who\'s coming?
Post by: bryngyld on December 22, 2010, 10:52:54 AM: The 64th Annual Winter Show will be January 29-30, 2011 at the San Joaquin Co. Fairgrounds in Stockton, CA.

I plan on attending. Entries close January 10, 2011

In 2009, there were a lot of losses due to theft. In 2010 it was a lot better. I still don\'t plan on showing any bird that I can\'t do without. So, my lovely cockerel from Harry will not attend. He\'s the only lavender boy I have. Ah, well. Some bantams will be there.

Last year the show secretary told me I didn\'t need to fill that in, she would do it. (show-off)

\"Class\" can be misleading. I don\'t remember ever seeing an entry form that asked the exhibitor to write in any of the classes, like ASOB or AOCCL. Generally they ask for class, like bantam chicken, waterfowl, turkey, etc. Then of course they want the breed, variety and sex (which is a class also).

Post by: bryngyld on December 22, 2010, 01:21:40 PM: The entry has the following columns across the top:

S, B, WF (example: B)
Class (SCCL)
Breed and Variety (Leghorn, White)
DC
C
H
K
P
OT
YT
# of Birds

I gotta admit that it took me FOREVER to figure out that K was for cockerel, and I still don\'t know what DC is.

Post by: bryngyld on December 22, 2010, 03:22:30 PM: Double coop makes sense. They have a $3 charge for that.

I sure hope I\'m not the only one there. I guess I can read a book and try to stay the heck out of the sale barn.

Post by: bryngyld on December 22, 2010, 03:25:27 PM: Oh! I thought OT and YT were Old Trio and Young Trio.

There definitely were turkeys last year... but there is no mention of prizes for turkeys. There are prizes for trios, though. It still might be trios.

Post by: Mike Gilbert on December 22, 2010, 04:02:22 PM: OT is old trio, YT is young trio. DC had me stumped too, but it must be double coop/cage.

Post by: Beth C on December 22, 2010, 04:20:02 PM: Oops - my bad. Carolina Feather Fanciers had OT/YT on their entry. I didn\'t know what it meant so I called the show secretary and that\'s what he told me - guess they don\'t all use the same abbreviations?
