Exhibiting, Promoting & Club Notes / Re: Celebrating Ameraucana in Dairyland - National Meet

« Last post by Russ Blair on Today at 03:59:57 PM »

Thanks for the update Michael and all the information. God willing I will be attending and will gladly donate a pair or trio of  Ameraucana, most likely bantam but it’s still too early to tell. I will also help in any way you need, that my back allows me to. I am sure you will make this another epic National Meet, thank you for your service to our Alliance.

My entry is in. Looking forward to the show and the trip. I really like the online system for entries they are using this year.

Just as a reminder, the online entry deadline for the Coulee Region Poultry Club show on June 1st is May 25th.  Catalog and instructions can be found at this link:   https://www.poultryshowcentral.com/Coulee_Region_Poultry_Club.html .  I'm hoping to see many of you there, as I won't be attending many shows this year.

Exhibiting, Promoting & Club Notes / Celebrating Ameraucana in Dairyland - National Meet

« Last post by Michael Muenks on Today at 10:56:15 AM »

As you may be aware the Ameraucana Alliance has two national meets this year, one of which is at the Wisconsin International show September 28-29, 2024 in Portage, WI.

There are many jobs that need to be done such as taking pictures of the BV and RV, posting pictures on the forum, the meet report, calculating display points, taking notes at the club meeting, organizing the egg show, organizing a silent auction, promotion, and staffing a club table.

There are also nice to have items such as a club meal/social gathering, coloring contest, word searches, virtual auction, virtual cast of events, social media postings, raffle, Question and Answer session, a seminar on an Ameraucana topic/variety/genetics, and any other great ideas people have.

If you are interested in helping or know of someone who would be interested in helping with the national meet in Wisconsin, please let me know. Many hands make light work.

Thank you to Jeff and Jessica for being willing to help and of course to our president Russ for his guidance and support.

I just want to let everyone know I am going to try and still have the yearbook ads placed. Michael Muenks just forwarded me the members, that expressed interest, information and I will be emailing them today. I will also need to email the APA and ABA to verify we have time. My nephew has agreed to help me and our Alliance design and format the ads.

Amy and Lucas just announced the spring show is canceled due to new State restrictions for HPAI. Be sure to cancel any reservations and they are going to start refunding entries. It might be time to start contacting our legislators if you are a Michigan Resident.

Jamie Shirley also took Best of breed bantam in the blue card show with a black hen. I took reserve of breed bantam in the blue card with a buff bantam cock (same cock I showed last fall). Kraig Shafer took RB Res AOSB with an outstanding white LF hen. Alex Harting respectfully took BB Best AOSB and went on to place reserve champion LF of the show. I don’t have pictures of them though unfortunately. That was for the white card. I will need to look at the blue card results later. So here’s a big congratulations to all the winners and fanciers that came out to make it a huge success.

My Best of Breed bantam White card, if you look at the card you will see my entry was overlooked when coop cards were made out. The DFFC crew did a great job fitting them in and I truly enjoyed every minute of the show.
