Posters for the sale with more information will be available soon!

Vendors have been signing up steady! It looks like we are on our way to having a great sale!
Look forward to seeing you at the sale.

This is looking like its going to be an excellent sale!  From what I've been hearing there will be some real treasures there such as handmade soaps, feather jewelry and started plants just in time for spring planting.  Prairie Ornamental will have a booth, and Diamond Willough Aviaries will once again have some of their beautiful and unique perennials.  And of course there will be a diverse selection of poultry breeders with chicks, breeding stock and even young ready-to-lay heritage-breed pullets which are always in very high demand in the spring, but almost impossible to find!

Is anyone planning to have ducks, geese or turkeys at the sale?

There will be some mature turkeys for sale at this sale and it looks like there could be some outstanding waterfowl coming from a good distance!!!

CHB has been having lots of vendors still booking booths!

Vendor space is filling up quickly and there should be lots of quality items for buyers to choose from!

Should anyone want a PDF copy of the sale poster sent to them please email!

The eggs, the little guys, the trio of adults (12 months old) lanaire-ranching? I would love to find a home for the adults so am willing to be flexible on their price.   

Only one more sleep until the sale!

A reminder to everyone who might buy poultry, turkeys, ducks, etc to please bring a pet carrier or two if you own them. Its the easiest way to transport your new purchase and you will be able to move onto the next vendor more quickly as, if it's anything like last year, things will sell quickly
