The Cornell Cooperative Extension of Rensselaer County will be hosting an open discussion on showing poultry from 10 to 11 am in the show arena during the tailgate sale. Local poultry breeders, experts and judges will be on hand to discuss general topics relating to how birds are judged, how they choose a bird to show, what they look for when buying and much more. The class is free and open to the public. Young poultry enthusiasts and 4H members are encouraged to attend. They can build better flocks by learning from local experts.
