Cindy, you are an absolute jewel! I will post the earliest one, on Sep. 1, and then will get to the others later this week. Thanks!

Sally

Sorry Sally - Beat you to 'em!

Glad to help...

I am usually a vendor at some of these so I am always checking the dates.

Thanks for posting those, Martie, it is great to have help!!

Ok never been to 1 of these events im going to go to 1 wich one do you guys recommend?
Best selections of finches to buy.
Thanks

Cindy - do you have a clone? Or just never sleep?

You do an astounding job on this list, and I know you spend hours taking care of your own birds daily.

(and thanks for correcting the spelling on the Jax show - It wasn't my typo - it was that way on the list, and driving me crazy!)

We appreciate all that you do!

Thanks Sally and Lauren!!

Lauren, I wish I had a clone...I have had a lot of down time recently. I also got everyone on a bit of schedule, soon to change when breeding season start!!

Jerry, Orlando by far is the busiest and biggest. The Ammerman's Plant City show coming up the Sunday after Thanksgiving is also very unique and busy, held outside under big great oaks!! Both these shows attract vendors from all over, some from out of state.

the smaller shows like Largo and Sarasota are steady, some of the same Florida vendors that are at the Orlando shows are at these as well. Occasionally the Sarastoa bird club will put on a show separate from the Sarasota show, I will post the dates when the hold another one.

The Hernado Broksville show is small but non-stop...lots of hookbills some finches and canaries but hookbills steal the show.
