Silent Auction
We will be holding a silent auction featuring quality pairs of birds from some of the top breeders in the fancy. All proceeds from the auction will go to the VPBA and because the intent is to provide new fanciers or current breeders looking to expand their breeding programs with an opportunity to acquire quality birds we will set a minimum bid on all birds. The minimum bids will be a reasonable starting point for the quality we will provide in the auction.
Raffle Table
We will also have a Raffle table chock full of items. Proceeds from the Raffle Table items will go toward VPBA to offset the cost of the show. You will definitely be tempted to try your luck at winning your favorite item or items. We will accept donations to the raffle the day of the
show.
Poultry Supplies
We will also have Peter Brown from First State Veterinary Supply on site offering poultry supplies for your shopping convenience.
Food
A local food truck will be conveniently located next to the show hall. You can count on hamburgers, hotdogs, fries, sodas, and water. Your standard concession items will be available.
If that doesn’t work for you, there are plenty of places to eat in Ashland, VA just a few miles from the show hall.
Show Set-up
For all of our Club members and volunteers, we will be setting up the show on Friday the 19th of November starting at 9:00 a.m. Lunch will be provided and we’d like to have as much help as possible to make set up as easy as possible.
Sale Area
This year we are happy to announce that we will again offer a tailgate sales area. The same testing requirements apply to the sale area birds. Pullorum and Avian Influenza paperwork will be checked. Refer to the testing requirements above. Tailgate sale areas will be available for
$15.00 per space. No sale cages will be provided. All animals must be in good health. The sales area supervisor will be there to answer questions and help however possible.
