ADVERTISING IN OUR SHOW BOOKLET
If your customers are poultry people, you may want to consider advertising in our show booklet. The booklet will be passed out for free at the show. Many people keep show booklets for future reference when they need feed or other supplies. Ad rates and information may be found by clicking to the file

TESTING OF BIRDS: IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION - PLEASE READ!!
The State of Maryland requires that all birds exhibited within the state be tested and certified clean of Pullorum-Typhoid as well as Avian Influenza. The AI testing is to be done no more than 90 days prior to the show for all exhibitors. Please be prepared to show your certificates to the show steward prior to cooping your birds in. The sale of untested birds at the site is prohibited.
SALE OF BIRDS
Due to limited space, there probably will be no sale coops available. The Show Secretary will post a notice if sales coops are available. Exhibitors only will be permitted to engage in "Tailgate Sales" in the parking area for $10.00 per exhibitor. Please note the testing requirements above.
QUILT RAFFLE
Back by popular demand, we will be auctioning off another hand made quilt this year. Tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. They can be purchased from club members or at the show. The drawing will be held after the judging, around 3:00, the day of the show. A picture can be found at this link. Use your browser return button to get back to this page after viewing.
