The Buckeye Fancy Feather Poultry Club held their spring poultry show on June 14, 2008 in Canfield Ohio. Despite some rainy weather, the show turned out to be very nice with a good turnout of birds and people.There were 31 silkie bantams shown in the open class by 4 exhibiters and 1 in the junior show. Over all, there were 71 exhibitors registered for the open show, coming from OH, PA, NY, MI and VA. There were 37 junior exhibitors registered, coming from OH, MI and VA. The show was judged by Glenn See and Daniel Dysart. There was a great representation of many breeds and varieties of poultry.
Silkies were represented in a rainbow of colors, with the Best of Breed going to a white bearded hen owned by Shari Evans and Reserve of Breed to a white bearded cock owned by Kathy Dahlbeck. In the junior show, Jewli Cruz had a nice bearded white cock entered which got Best of Breed.
