I love the museum at Vulcan, that little museum is a gem...I have a great picture with Spock.

I think I might have to come to the sale, then I can go to the museum again also... Although it looks like the sale will be like going to the zoo!

Less than 3 weeks left until the sale ......  
Albert, our 14-year old son, is busy building for the sale in Vulcan.

Irene

Anna, what great craftsmanship!

Thank you.
Yes, the cedar planter-bench is very nice. He just started working at Prairie Cedar, so he had to make something out of cedar :-) Expensive, but it lasts forever. He may take it also to the sale in Vulcan.

Just a reminder this sale is coming up THIS WEEKEND! Tomorrow actually!

We are planning to attend and are bringing the following animals (Maybe more depending on what I can fit in the truck)

3-5 week old unsexed Russian Orloff Chicks
Feb 2014 Hatched Production Rouen Female Ducks (Imported from the USA)
Pair of Standard Bronze Turkeys
Pair of Black Muscovy Ducks (2013 Hatched)
4 day old chicks in Russian Orloff, Barred Rock, Standard Blue Cochin, Bantam Partridge Cochin and Black Australorp
4 Day old Buff Ducklings
4 day - 1 week old Rouen Ducklings


Who else is coming and what are you planning to bring?

Im going to be missing this sale this year    it is the BEST way to buy stock if you want to chat to the breeders and so nice for the young stock that go directly from the care of the owner to the buyer.
Highly recommended sale!

Black Sumatra's
Sicilian buttercups
black and blues white crested bantam polish + frizzeld
Crème Legbars
red shouldered Yokohama's

Our son has been very busy with his hobby.
Today he worked at Prairie Cedar in Coalhurst.
And look what he brought home!
His employer helped him, but yes, he was allowed to build this shed and take it to Vulcan tomorrow!

If there is anyone interested, please take a flatbed or something to take it home.
It's about 6'X6' inside, plus a deck of about 2'X6'.

Wow Anna, that's awesome! What a talented 14 year old you have!

Had a great turn out at the sale on Saturday. Of course everyone complains about something, some people said there wasn't enough advertising, but with the amount of people through I think it was well known we were all there.
We sold most of what we took, and were not disappointed in what we brought home. I am always amazed at how birds go in cycles, I didn't have enough orloffs last year to go around, and then this year only about a dozen sold. Ducklings sold fast, people love the little cuties. Adult ducks I didn't sell any (oh except one crested rouen).
We had a good time, the venue was nice, easy to clean and set up.
The large door at the back where we were was open all day so a cold breeze blew in, but I was the only one cold, LOL, so wasn't so bad.
I liked the mix of crafts and animals, was a great sale in my opinion, hope you do it again next year Ty.

Did Anna sell that lovely coop de grace?

We had a great time.
We loved the location, very nice, light building.
I sold all my birds (have to say, I had way less than previous years)
Albert sold the planter-bench and the chicken tractor. And he got orders to make
more of those tractor, he is so happy. He also sold some of his small stuff.
But the cedar shed didn't sell. We left it outside on the parking lot, but I don't think many
realised that it was for sale. (although, there was a sign on)
Oh well, doesn't matter, he just takes it back to work on Saturday :-)

There was a lot of neat stuff to see at the sale! I sold out of birds by noon although I have had terrible hatches this year and did not have much to offer.

You weren't the only cold one. I was cold too, but it was a good day.

And I second the hope that Ty runs it again next year!!
