AA National 'Southern Fling' 2026

[Stan Alder]

   A heads up!!.. The Ameraucana Alliance Board of Directors has selected the Anderson SC fall show as an AA National meet for 2026!.. So happy to have a show in the southeast. We plan to have a full blown "Southern Fling" and hope to showcase our southern hospitality for all who attend. Hope you can be at this inaugural event in the south!

The current board of directors have voted to have John Beamer judge our Bantam Ameraucana and Dave Adkins will be judging our Large Fowl Ameraucana. With both judges collaborating to pick our Champion and Res Champion Ameraucana over all for this National Meet.

I just went to check the date for the Southern National 2026. It is not listed on the Meet Page at all.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. For future reference I might see these concerns quicker if I am sent an email or phone call. I agree 100% that this is unacceptable and I am addressing this with the board of directors.

I have just updated our upcoming meet list. I added the meets from the winter 2025 and summer 2026 Newsletters. Which included our Southern Fling National Meet. I apologize for the confusion, and I am still unclear how it was removed. Perhaps something got lost in the transfer???

Here is a video of some added awards Chad made for BB and RB Bantam and Large Fowl. Stan Alder sent me the video and this note to post:

"Just received a post from the show chairman of the Anderson show where we will be holding our Ameraucana Alliance National 'Southern Fling'..  I expect there will be some tough competition for these awards from the show plus the awards the AA show committee will have available.. Looking forward to seeing lots of great birds and lots of great folks!"

Nice Awards.    Lord's willing I'll be there one way or another representing a couple varieties in LF and Bantam.   Looking forward to it, and meeting club members in person!   

[Stan Alder]

Glad to hear you decided to try to make it down Elijah!  Looking forward to meeting you!.. Safe travels my friend!

I have attached the added cash awards approved by this board of directors. The hosting club is also providing several plaques and even some mugs as you saw in the earlier post.
