CHB ~ Lawn Show July 13th 2013 Sunnybrook Farm Museum Red Deer

CHB is excited to be hosting our first annual Lawn Show.
The Lawn Show will be on Saturday July 13th at Sunnybrook Farm Museum in Red Deer.
APA Judge Rico Sebastianelli will be judging the Show. Lawn Show starts at 10am and is finished at 4 pm. 

Show Deadline is July 6th. Entries are taken online through the CHB website.
Entries are $1.50 per bird.

For more info please check out our website or the CHB Facebook page.

Im really looking forward to this show! 
Bathing chickens is so much easier in the summer - hopefully the weather will dry up a bit by then!

I can't believe the entries that keep rolling in!!!
Have heard rumours that a Toulbunt Polish might be at the Lawn Show! That will might be the first time a Toulbunt Polish has been shown in Alberta!

I totally agree with you Kathys! I'm really looking forward to it, should be a lot of Fun!! how many birds is every one entering? I'm entering 10

I also entered 10 Steve using the CHB online registration form. I could not however get PayPal to allow me to pay the correct registration fee. I'm sure i did something wrong  Hopefully some one can help me out or will allow me to pay at the show.

A 10am start will mean a very early morning, good thing the days are so long this time or year. I'll have to get up before the chickens!

sure wish we were going to be going up there, but the timing is bad for us this time unfortunately.
It will be so nice to display them out of doors! HOpe it is a huge success!

I am fixing the PayPal issue as we speak. Sorry its taken me a few days to get it sorted out, the farm had me distracted all last week. Michelle, you are one of the people I will be contacting personally to sort out your entry payments

The PayPal payment page is now functioning properly. Anyone who was having trouble and would like to complete their online entry payment please go here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
and just click the add to cart button, where it will take you to a PayPal checkout page that now does allow updating the number of birds entered.

THanks for fixing the PayPal issue CTF. It's working fine now  

How many birds are going to be at this show?
I kept my entries on the low side because I thought it was going to be casual. The way you guys are bathing birds, sounds like you are all bringing your flocks  

Around 100 birds so far, and we're expecting quite a few more to come in as the deadline approaches! It's still going to be a really relaxed show, but there will be lots going on too.

A huge bonus is that the judge will be going through the birds along with the exhibitors so everyone showing can get tips and pointers right from the source, something we don't always get a chance to do in our larger shows.

And you can always change your entry before the deadline if you want!

Think I'll just stick to what I entered. Going to be busy smoozing and checking out the pie.  

I am getting so excited for this show! I just entered a few more birds! The one lavender d'Uccle pullet looked too nice too be left at home.

Can't wait to see what everyone brings to the show!
My young Buff Cochins are such cute little fluff balls, but alas too small to bring to this show. Hmmm...unless I sneak them in as bantams...
 

will there be chickens 4-sale?

Exhibitors will be allowed to sell birds in the show as always, so you can always approach the exhibitors at the show.

Speaking of exhibitors, only one day left to get your entries in!

On Sunday I bathed 8 of my entries! Hope I can keep them clean until the show.

I should know where this place is, but I don't. Where about's is it located in Red Deer?

4701 30 street red deer is all I found
PH 403-340-3511

It is just north of Bower Mall and easy to find. You can google map Sunnybrook Farm museum, Red Deer and decide on your best route depending what direction you are coming from.

Thank you all very much. I am picking up some EO pullets and "need" to be there.  

Looks like it is going to be a great show!!!
I am so excited... just one more day to the Show!

Hey everyone,

Tomorrow will be a blast and I hope you all have a really great time at the lawn show tomorrow.
I will not be in attendance, nor will Karrie.
I am still fighting off a sinus infection and a chest infection, so needless to say I've been a big baby spending most time on the couch, getting up to do chores and the odd project around the yard. but resting up mainly.

Karrie was supposed to be off this weekend but she got scheduled to work as her company is under a major transition, she has been working at least 10 hours a day for the past 3 weeks no day off really.

Anywho as much as we would love to attend, we will have to pass.

This will be my first show I haven't attended in a while, kind of feeling bad about not being there, but health comes first!


So have fun everyone and I look forwards to all the pics and show report!

I'm out of bed and having a quick coffee. Then out to load the chickens into the truck to start the trip. It's dark and 1.3C here, I can see frost on the deck from the pale light of the rising sun. Good thing all the chooks will be riding in the cab. Looking forward to see everyone who's attending in about 5 hours....
