Utah Fancy Poultry was supposed to submit a bid.  Did it come through or do I need to have her resend?

I do not find one in my email. Please have them resend it.

Also remember to include...

At least two members, that plan to attend the show, must agree to organize our National Meet there before a bid is considered.

FYI...here is a link to my old post with my list of items to consider when placing an Ameraucana National Meet.  Some of the items on my list are the same as Michael's list.

Personally I see a separate Junior Show as a negative and shows that have competition with awards for juniors above and beyond the an all inclusive open show are preferred.

Have a safe and fun weekend, everyone!

Thanks Beth.  We miss seeing you at the national meets!    The Rennolets and us arrived at our home about 5:30 p.m. Central time, but we did stop enroute several times.   We did have a safe and uneventful drive.   We had a very good time in Indiana, but it was good to be back home.   This was the last year we will be traveling long distances to any kind of poultry show.  We will continue to attend and show at places within 4 to 5 hours driving time, God willing.  We will greatly miss seeing everyone, but time marches on.  It has been a rewarding ride, and we appreciate all the friendships that blossomed over the years.

Hello friend Mike Gilbert the blessings of God are always with you and your family.

I would love to buy from you the above site book and sign for you.
If you have a way to send the APA book along, I would appreciate it.

Please send the book costs, the couriers can pay here or if you prefer I will pay you directly including the US to Brazil front.

Thank you very much

Pedro, the cost of the book in U.S.A. funds is $20 plus $7 shipping to any U.S.A. address.   If I need to ship the book to Brazil, the shipping costs would be much higher.   Do you have a way to pay with U.S.A. dollars?    My bank charges $20 just to process a check from anyplace out of our country.    You may email me at:  Chantecler7@gmail.com .
