It’s Almost Show Time

& Welcome to this newsletter!

We hope everyone is busy primping and preening all those beautiful show birds in order to be ready to attend

the 5th Annual Fall Show in Red Deer.

We wanted to put together an info package for all of you and if you still have questions after perusing through, do not hesitate to

get in touch with any of your board members. Plan on joining and following on Facebook, the event - Canadian

Heritage Breeds Fall Show and the home page, Canadian Heritage Breeds as we’re sure that both of these pages will be carrying any

further updates and will be available for questions. We will be looking for volunteers again so please contact Kyle

Lawrence on your availability. Deadline for show entries are November 17th – please visit the

website for the show package.

So just what is CHB all about?

We are all about the preservation of genetic diversity, heritage breeds, networking, social gathering, education, breed conservation and fun.

CHB offers a number of events and resources, including poultry shows, seminars, breed displays, social gatherings & smaller events

throughout the year. Our membership includes every level of enthusiast from the Master breeder to first time urban coop owner to members just dreaming about owning their first livestock. CHB also

encourages youth involvement with a developing Jr’s program. Although CHB is based in Central Alberta we aim to create a resource

for not just Alberta, but for all of Western Canada and beyond! CHB publishes an online quarterly newsletter announcing upcoming events,

articles by and about our members, breed introductions, health/genetics/husbandry/nutrition information and more.

Don’t forget to ‘LIKE’ us on our page!

CHB is seeking your help!

Volunteers are needed for a variety of jobs during

Show weekend.

Set up for the show will take place on Friday, November 27th

from noon - 5:00 pm. We’ll need to move tables, prepare them

with skirting & tar paper and set cages on top to display birds. It's

always a struggle to find enough workers for set up, since so many

of our members are either working or in school at that time. If you

can lend a hand, even for an hour or 2, it’s most appreciated!

On Saturday and Sunday, volunteers will be needed for

feeding/watering birds, admission table, office assistants,

sweeping and of course for clean up.

Our sincere thanks to any and all volunteers!

The CHB Fall show has been designated as the Cochins International District meet for 2015.

There will be special prizes for members of Cochins

International who participate in the show.

If you raise Cochins in Bantam or Large Fowl,

please consider becoming a member of this very active and supportive breed club.

For membership information, either go to

the CI website: http://www.cochinsint.com/

Or contact the Director for Canada: Kathy Stevenson: [email protected]

September 19/15 - CHB Heritage Fundraiser Dinner

Thank you to everyone who made this dinner such a great success! It was an

amazing opportunity to share a delicious, locally produced meal with such great

people!

This event was a success due to the producers, attendees, volunteers and the

amazing chefs in the kitchen! Thank you all from Canadian Heritage Breeds!

It’s that time of year again!

November 28th and 29th, CHB will host the 5th Annual Fall Poultry and Pigeon

Show at Red Deer’s Westerner Park.

For two days, the Agri Center East building at the Westerner grounds will once again be filled with

excitement, activity and the cacophony of chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, pigeons plus a variety of barnyard

animals!

The Annual Fall Show, previously called the Urban Farm Show, is an event that the whole family will enjoy.

An extensive trade show is included, and will provide local vendors with the opportunity to market the

products of their farm, home-based business or artistic talents. So this also means visitors have a chance to

do some timely Christmas shopping! The silent auction is a fun way to help support the costs of the show by

donating an item, or by bidding on the treasures being offered. Heritage farm animals will be on display and

Chicken John’s Petting Zoo is always a favourite attraction for young and old alike.

As you can imagine, it takes a lot of planning, organizing and good old hard work to put together an event

such as this. And the workforce is entirely made up of volunteers who put in many, many hours of their

“spare” time. So why does the CHB Board feel this work is justified? CHB is committed to raising awareness

about heritage breeds. Hosting poultry shows is an effective way to foster interest in traditional fowl and

livestock. These shows are also vital in helping breeders network and make those all-important connections.

Exhibiting birds is the best way to gain valuable feedback and expert advice from judges. But probably the

best reason to attend shows is that they are a lot of fun!

If you are located within a reasonable driving distance of Red Deer, we hope you will make a point of coming

to the show to see what it’s all about. Hopefully you even feel motivated to join the fun and enter a few

birds of your own. If you live too far away to make it to this show, maybe there is one closer to your home

town that you can plan to attend. It’s important to support the clubs that host these events by taking part in

the activities, offering to lend a hand if you can, or at least help to spread the word and provide

encouragement to the clubs. This is the only way that shows and events will continue to take place in the

future. For the entry form, or other information about the Fall CHB Show, please visit the website:

Vendors needed for Canadian Heritage Breeds Fall Show

I'd like to invite you to become a vendor at the Fifth Annual Canadian Heritage Breeds Fall Show November 28-29, 2015, brought to you by Canadian Heritage Breeds!

The Fall Show is a two-day show and sale that draws poultry, pigeon, other vendors

and fanciers from across Canada. The show encompasses a generous 40,000 square feet of indoor space at the beautiful Agri Center East facility at Red Deer’s Westerner Park.

Approximately 600 adults came through the doors at last year’s show (children 12 & under receive free admission), and we are anticipating a bigger and better show in 2015!

Besides the animal shows, there are also heritage livestock displays, an egg show, an animal

sale area, a fun kids petting zoo, silent auction and - here’s where you come in – a tradeshow area, featuring up to 25 vendor spaces for our vendors to show off their products and

services.

This is an awesome venue to sell jewelry, handmade accessories and clothing, farm/ranch related items, as well as decor, beauty supplies, gardening-related products, urban farming,

organic products, pet supplies and more! With less than a month before Christmas, many attendees will be looking to do some holiday shopping!

A 10x10 space is just $100! Tables are $10 and power is available for $100.

The CHB looks forward to working with you for our 2015 show! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Yours Truly,

Jennifer Jacula Tradeshow organizer Office: 780-741-2179
