Temple TX Show/Mart Nov. 1, 2014
This is the last show of the season in Texas, won't be another show until September 2015 for us. I'm not certain I will be attending Temple, though I am leaning towards going. If there are any forum members who would like to show in Temple and need to borrow show cages, please let me know by about a week before. If I am not attending, I can make arrangements for a friend to take some empty cages for me.
This should be a good show, I anticipate having at least 120 entries, so it should be a full-point show. Fort Worth was a full-point show with 138 entries and 13 exhibitors, and Houston was also with 123 entries and 11 exhibitors. These are great numbers and show that Texas exhibitors are still interested in keeping the shows going. This show also has a mart going on at the same time as the show. For those who are looking for something different, Jan Door of Texas Pride Aviary will be there. Jan is retiring and selling all her stock, so this is a great opportunity. She had pairs of Strawberries at Houston for $150 a pair, which is the cheapest price I have seen (and no shipping charges!).
If you want to show and don't want to drive to Temple the night before, entries will be taken from 7am to 9am, and then judging will begin. No entries will be accepted at any show once the judge starts their preliminary walk-through before judging. Here's the show information:

You know I would love to go with you guys. First though, I have to buy a lottery ticket and actually win. Then we would be on our way baby..... To infinity and beyond~~~ or to a Texas bird show anyway!

Re: Temple TX Show/Mart Nov. 1, 2014
WrenNAustinTX That's OK, but be sure and stop by the show. Temple usually has the room set up with the show part on one side of the room and the mart on the other side, so it is easy to see everything. I may have to secretary the finch division, so won't have as much time for visiting.

Look forward to seeing you there. I'm bringing 10 juveniles to show. I may be selling them after the show too, if anyone is interested in N/F owl cocks, Fawn owl hens, SGPF hens or cock, or Forbes cock.

Wow, finchmix22!!! That's a great selection of birds you are showing!!! Best of luck with the show and possible sales!!! It's a REALLY good thing that I do not live in Texas...seriously, I wouldn't be able to control myself.
