Dayton Fancy Feathers Spring show final report

[Russ Blair]

There were over 1,900 entries with 19 Large Fowl and 52 Bantams entered. I will give a detailed report tomorrow but I will say Ameraucana Alliance members took BB and RB not only in Large fowl but also Bantams. With the Large fowl moving on to Res AOSB respectfully. There were 7 or 8 exhibitors 3 of which I know are members. I still have to look up exhibitors numbers and names to get final tally. There were 6 varieties of LF and 10 Varieties of Bantams displayed so an impressive showing for a spring show. AOCCL was a really tough class with a Buckeye Hen placing Best AOCCL and a white crested polish hen placing Reserve AOCCL respectfully.

Good job Russ!    Did you happen to get any photos?   It sounds like black is becoming the most popular bantam variety, as has been the case with LF.   

[John W Blehm]

That was big, especially for a spring show.  Congratulations to all.
Jeff & Cheryl stopped in, Sunday afternoon, before heading back to WV to pick up some bantam buffs for Jeff's dad, Clarence.  We had a very nice visit.

Since we had a club meet the Dayton Fancy Feather Club gave an award to BB Bantam and LF Ameraucana. Here’s my plate, picture is way off but I thought it was a generous offer given from the hosting club. They put on a really nice show with single stacked cages in a spacious barn.

Show area, it would be a great show to host our National Meet some day.
