I am thrilled to be sending out another newsletter with no new reports of avian flu, and I am spending significant time updating to the 2016 dates for shows, so I am hopeful that they will stay on the website and not need to be updated with a cancelled note next year! I know it's been a light poultry show year for my family and I’m hopeful that next year will have a lot of restrictions lifted.

It would be a huge help to me if you could let me know as you hear about restriction changes. I will post updates as soon as I receive them so everyone can stay up to date. I also need to hear from you about any 2016 show or swap dates you are aware of. I am well on my way, but I can't rest until all the dates have been updated. Every year has been a bit easier, thanks to your help. I 'm especially in need of spring swap dates. Email me!

We have made a really great change that we hope will be a service and help to both show secretaries and exhibitors alike. Our goal is to make the process of finding a new show to attend as easy as possible so we are now offering our catalog and entry form download hosting options as a free service to each show. I just need a pdf of the file and anyone who visits the show page can now immediately download all the information about the show so spread the word so I can offer this for as many shows as possible. Hopefully that will take some burden off all you show secretaries out there and will also encourage you to try a new show this year! It's easy to get in a rut and go to the same shows year after year.

We have quite a few new shows to share. Some are clubs that have decided to add a extra show for the year. Give them your support!
