Just received poultry press and it looks like they are still planning on having this take place, is that still correct? I have a lot of good prospects and would like to attend at least one show this year 😃. My only thought is Iowa was one of the first hit with AI and they are still planning on allowing shows? That just doesn't seem right to me but I am just a small town country boy.

Keep in mind that the deadline for each monthly issue of Poultry Press is the 10th and so some things may not be up to date by the time you get it in the mail.
No birds, but an "Event" will be held November 20th and 21st, at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds, in Webster City, Iowa. If interested, please sign up by Nov. 9th. Contact: Bart Pals (641)430-2916. They have info on their Home page (http://mastercuppoultryshow.com/index.php), but the rest of the site looks like it hasn't been updated.

Bart says the "Formal Banquet on Saturday Night" will be held at a "golf club" this year.
I would love to be there for the banquet, but it's 20+ driving hours, or a $400 plane ticket that still puts me an hour away and renting a car (Amtrak costs even more and lands me further out), so on the heels of the trip to IN I just can't swing it. :(
You need a travelling buddy Beth; someone to share the driving and costs. You should ask on the APA site on FB. A lot of people have done and that and been successful.
