The show was a great success, it's slightly early yet but there were lots of birds that were spot on esp. the pullets. We had a great banquet last night and major chicken talk all day saturday. There were appox 430 poultry and waterfowl and the waterfowl were in prime condition overall. We had the awards thingy this morning at 9:00am and then released all the exhibitors to be on their way home. There were exhibitors from Alberta, Sask., B.C and the Island. Actually a good thing we let the exhibitors go as all the ferries are cancelled tonight due to high winds.
Here are some of the winners but this is coming from memory so please don't be upset if I miss you it is not intentional.

I could try and list individual class winners but won't. At any rate a good time had by all I hope, our judge was Dave Anderson, past President of the APA
We were torn down by 11:30 thanks to the help of many people who stayed and helped. I came home and got my birds put away and fed and came in and slept for 3 hours. Thanks for coming and supporting the hobby everyone, hope to do it again next year.
