Will there be live poultry and/or poultry-related items for sale at the show?

There will be a silent auction held during the show that includes both live poultry and poultry-related items. In previous years, this auction has included pairs and trios of high-quality breeding birds, various poultry eqipment, transportation boxes, books, antiques, and much more. We will also have multiple vendors attending the show but cannot guarantee the vendors or items that will be available.

How can I reserve a space in the vendors area at the show?

Space for vendors will be provided on a first come, first served basis. Those wishing to set up a booth or sell items other than live birds may locate indoors if space allows. Other vendors will be provided space under the pavillion located directly behind the show barn.

We have arranged for "The Tamale Spot" food truck (serving tamales, tacos, hamburgers, hotdogs, and more) to join us as a food vendor this year. There are also multiple lunch options in a short driving distance from the show barn. Coffee will be available free of charge Saturday morning.
