Exhibitor List
To receive an Exhibitor List, prior to the start of
judging, exhibitors must check in at the Michigan Poultry Fanciers club table before
cooping-in. Extra Exhibitor Lists will
be available after judging begins at 9am Saturday morning
The Show
This is a two day poultry show. All entries must be cooped-in by 9am on
Saturday morning. The show will conclude
by 11am on Sunday morning and exhibitors will be asked to coop-out at that
time.
Junior Exhibitors – Early Coop-Out
Junior exhibitors that check (“X”) the box on the Entry Form
indicating they want to coop-out early may do so beginning at 6pm on Saturday,
if they need to due to other weekend obligations. . If
they do not check the box they must wait to coop-out on Sunday, at 11am, when
the show concludes. This is to avoid any
confusion and for the security of the investments of all exhibitors. Junior exhibitors that coop-out on Saturday
will be eligible for Junior exhibitor awards only and forfeit the opportunity to compete for
Open Show awards, since the show isn’t over until Sunday. Of course Junior Exhibitors are encouraged
to stay for the entire show.
Sale Coops will be available at $3.00 each. Only exhibitors and/or MPF
members may sell poultry at the show in the Sale Area and they are encouraged
to write their cell phone number on their sale coop tags to aid buyers in
locating them. No selling is allowed
outside the building. Contact Kim
Aldrich if you can volunteer some time to oversee this area.
Bird Auction
We will feature a fundraising auction on Saturday at
1:pm to benefit Michigan Poultry Fanciers. Kim Aldrich will be the
auctioneer. Anyone wishing to donate show quality birds should contact
him.
Raffle Tables
Many great prizes are being donated by individuals and area businesses for our
annual fund-raising raffle. You do not have to be present during the drawing to
win, but winners that aren’t present must pay to have items sent to them
if the postage is over $1 or forfeit the prize. Contact Kathy Blehm if you can volunteer some
time to help man the raffle tables or have something to donate.
