Frist Time Showing

[littlechicklet]

I just entered my first show.  The Something to Crow About Show in Newport, TN.  I think there are over 900 entries total.  I don't know anything about shows or how many LF are entered let alone how many Orps.  I did notice on the exhibitor list a lot of people from surrounding/close states: GA, NC, SC, KY & VA (if I am not mistaken).

I entered 7 total: 4 buff pullets, 1 buff cockerel, 1 blue pullet & 1 black pullet.   I am not expecting to win anything but it was nice when some of the other exhibitors commented on mine tonight when I cooped them in.  I will followup tomorrow & let you know how it goes; that is if I can figure it out!

The main thing is have fun. Met new people and just visit. Winning is always nice. Learn all you can.

This is really my first year of showing too! Enjoy the show, and don't be afraid to introduce yourself! I was real nervous to say anything at first, but as I introduced myself to other breeders, you find they are super nice! Let us know how it goes!

I just got home & got settled in. The show was nice & met some nice people. I will try to post pics tomorrow. I think there was 13 LF Orps of which I entered 7. The winning Orp was a buff cockerel shown by Jerry Couch of AL (I will double check this but fairly sure).
