First Club Meet!

Mike Gilbert · March 17, 2015, 06:50:14 PM

It's official. The Coulee Region Poultry Club, Inc. will be hosting the very first Ameraucana Alliance club meet on June 6th. It's a one day, single judged show complete with youth showmanship, raffle, silent auction, lunch stand, poultry swap, and lots of prizes. Camping is available on the grounds.
Our location is at the fairgrounds in Galesville, Wisconsin, about 20 miles north of La Crosse and less than that from Interstate 90. Anyone wanting a show catalog can contact me. Or check out our website at http://couleeregionpoultryclub.webs.com

Sounds like good times!

Just for fun, I put Galesville, Wisconsin into mapquest to see how far away it is from me....well, I was pleasantly surprised that it's only a 16 hour drive in good driving conditions. Not too shabby really. Now I just need to convince my driver a poultry show is the vacation he's been looking for!

Lee,

The Malcolm family from Colorado has "penciled" in the show. I'm sure you would have the longer drive, but it'll be a long haul from them also and may help to prove to your driver that you'll be in good company.

Have a great time and take lots of pictures! This is a historic event.

8 and a half hour trip here, hmmm going to have to do some sweet talking. Wife has been saying she wants to do more camping 😃

Kathy said OK, we are planning on being there.
Sounds like it'll be a BIG turnout for Ameraucana people and chickens!

Mike Gilbert · March 23, 2015, 02:15:16 PM

Sounds good! No Chantecler meet this year, so we'll try to do it up right for the Ameraucanas.

Congratulations! I see on the website nice shots of you and Pres Jim. As for travel time, it may be 16 hours for me too as my Uncle in the Motor City may not be home by then, as his house was totalled this past winter -- so I have no pit stop. I too have to talk to my driver about going Forward to Wisconsin. I don't have many Ameraucanas though so I will have to fill in with "others"

Driver said no, we already have too much on our plate this summer, and he's right...but maybe next year. Hope springs eternal. lol

Hope y'all have a great time!

That's a pity Lee. Hopefully we'll meet another venue.

There is always FowlFest in Michigan in October. That would be a much shorter trip for you.

Lee G · March 24, 2015, 04:36:20 PM

I quite like the way you think Mike. And a shorter driving distance means my husband will too!

Plus October happens to be my birth month, so that means the bday card can be put into play! hehe

I hope so too. It'd sure be great to meet everyone.

Well it does not look like the Blair family will be able to attend after all. My wife just showed me an invitation to my nephews graduation party and it is planned for June 6. Well the good news is I can put a few birds back in the breeding pens. I apologize I was looking forward to kicking the new club off.
