[Godins Chinchillas]

Hey all-

I've been getting emails from a few people asking about show information and thought I would throw it on this site. I know Hope and Paul are super busy so I hope they don't mind me posting it.

Hope to see a good crowd here this year. We are making Smoked Pulled Pork with a homemade BBQ sauce for it. Crissy is making sausages and peppers. Food is going to be awesome!!!

Is the 'camping' area close to the show hall so we can just walk from our RV with chins (of course, in carriers) to the hall??

 

[Dragonflye]

I'm excited! The show is about an hour closer to me now. I am happy that it's a bit later in September as well.

 

[Godins Chinchillas]

Yes, barb. Camping is right on the fairgrounds.

Oooh, my husband and I are excited! We couldn't make it last year because we had just gotten a puppy and had no one to watch him. This is a whole 40 minutes closer for us! We dont show, but love looking at all the chins.

 

[qtpie61282]

awh wish I had some chins to bring!!!
Dont know if Ill be able to get away this year for it. I've been missing too many of these! :-(

 

[Godins Chinchillas]

Does anyone know whose all going? I hope to get somewhat of an idea so I know How much pulled pork to make. I've got 8 I'm looking at bringing.

Mish are you looking at being the judge trainee? Wondering if Paul is showing or judging.

 

[mishalaa]

I was planning on showing at this one, and training at the Ohio claim. I've got close to a dozen chins I want shown.

 

[Godins Chinchillas]

Nice-whatcha showing. I've got 6 standards and 2 mutes. I can't wait to show you Avalanche's son, A39. He's beautiful. I'm holding back her last 3 kits for Nationals. They should be pretty nice.

 

[mishalaa]

A few sapphires, a black, and a slew of standards - a couple pure, the rest carriers of various things. I just weaned two full sisters to Avalanche, one's a black and the other a standard. I can't wait to see how they grow out, the standard is already fairly large for her age.

 

[saphire]

I will be there, will have 2 pure standards to show. Unfortunately the others no matter would be way to young to show

 

[Mt. Zion Chins]

I'll be there - don't know yet for sure which chins I will be bringing. My hubbie will be with me with the RV. See you there

 

[jbcstratton]

I will be there, would like to show a couple for more experience. Can't wait to meet even more people at this show. I loved the State College show.

 

[poetrue]

I'll be there! I'll probably have a few violets and ebs.

[CrissysChins]

I will be there! I cant wait to see everyone!!

 

[CrissysChins]

Dee and Jen, Will you be coming? I sure hope so!!

 

[threewingedfury]

Wish I could make it this year but work has just become so hectic that I can't take enough time off for the long drive. I'll miss you guys!

 

[saphire]

Awe Tiffany, Haven't seen you in some time.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.
