The 2017 edition of Odessa Fair Poulty Show was held on July 15th
and 16th in the
KDPPSA building at the Odessa Fairgrounds. The weather for the show was warm, but not too hot, and we were lucky that the rain held off until after coop-out. Our judges for the show were
Dave Walsh on poultry and waterfowl, and Joe Bell on pigeons and rabbits.
The show featured 243 entries from 16 exhibitors, 8 of whom were
juniors. Entries included 35
large fowl, 96 bantam poultry, 42 pigeons, 57
waterfowl, and 5 turkeys. Strong classes included large fowl brahmas and rhode
island reds; bantam games, brahmas, and cochins; runner and muscovy ducks;
and rollers, homers, and pouters in pigeons.
The KDPPSA would like to thank Willows Agriservices for donating
the feed and shavings used in the show, and to our partners at the
Odessa Agricultural Society for sponsoring the prize money, ribbons,
and rosettes. Special thanks to our exhibitors and judges for making
our show a success; to Bill Harrison
for his usual excellent job as show chair; and to Bill Godkin, Dale
Baker, Chris Bos, Brad Snider, and the Crawford family for their
help in setting up and running the show.
