Ameraucana National Meet in Lebanon, IN

[John W Blehm]

Our Ameraucana National Meet is back on! 
Indiana is lifting their ban on poultry shows and our Board of Directors has unanimously voted to place our meet at the Central Indiana Poultry Show, Saturday, October 17th, 2015, in Lebanon.  More info to follow...

The Gilberts and Blehms will be staying at the Comfort Inn.  There are a few hotels in Lebanon to choose from and many more near Indianapolis.

Kristine, we will plan to deliver your birds to the national meet.   That will save you an extra trip to the Midwest. 

[Russ Blair]

Whew who very awesome news. Time to go through and start putting respectful prospects into smaller conditioning pens.

Paul Monteith, from Ontario, will judge our Ameraucana National Meet!

The Malcolms have also booked the Comfort Inn in Lebanon.  Thank you Mike!  We will plan to pick up the birds at Nationals!!🐔🐔🐔🐔

Even though this is only a one-day show some of us will treat it like a two-day show as we have in the past with our National Meets.  We generally coop-in Friday late afternoon/evening, check in to the hotel and get together with others that are available for dinner.  We'll get together again for dinner on Saturday (time and place will be announced in advance).  We'll coop-out early Sunday and head home.

We'll have a club meeting after the judging on Saturday and hand out awards (time and place to be determined).

Just spoke with Bob Rennolet of South Dakota.   He and Sandy are planning to participate at Lebanon.    Since our place is on their way, we may end up traveling together.

I'm working with the other board members to finalize a list of awards and will include it in the fall Ameraucana Newsletter and also post it here.  Royce and Jim Fegan have donated cash awards and I've donated some nest eggs and nest boxes.  Please let me know it you have any "specials" to donate.

Just booked our room at the Comfort Inn! Not sure if hubby will becoming or not, depends on his work and if I can find a farm-sitter, but if nothing blows up, burns down or implodes Fuzz & I will be there!

[Russ Blair]

If I want to donate some cash for awards (like champion/res champion overall both open show and youth) do I just send it pay pal to the club with a note John?

[John W Blehm]

Normally "specials" donated by members are distributed by them but I've already received some, so I'll take more and make sure they get to the winners.  Here is a list of awards to date.

Ken Olsen donated $35 and I've used if for the BB & RB rosettes. 
Here is the updated list of awards.
