West Coast 2010 Show

Sue · Mar 8, 2010

We are set to go, people!! Announcing the 2010 West Coast Chapter MCBA Show on September 11, 2010. Location will be the Pickering Barn (in the Hay Barn), 1730 10th Ave. N.W., Issaquah, WA 98027. Tentatively Jack Humphries is scheduled to be the judge. We will have raffles (if you have something to donate, please contact Claire Russell at [email protected].)

We will have more details coming as we flesh out the event. There will again be a baby derby with every paid entry fee. Entry fees will be $5 per animal for MCBA members, $4 per baby derby entry for animals 4 to 6 months, non-MCBA member fees will be $6 per animal, $5 per baby derby entry.

We will be allowed to begin set up at 6:30 but we MUST be out by 3:00 SHARP. There is a wedding at 3:00, so plan to come early, have your grooming done quickly, the show starts at 8:30. There will be NO break for lunch, except for the Judge to have a quick bite, so bring your own, or plan to quickly run out between your animals being judged. There is a Costco right across the parking lot.

I will post hotels as we get closer to the date. Start dusting those "bunnies", all too soon it will be "Showtime." Email me with questions, Sue, at [email protected]. :thumbsup:

The show starts @ 8:30 or classification @ 8:30 followed by show?

Looking forward to it!

RDZCRanch · Mar 8, 2010

I'll try to plan on making it to this one and see if I can't bring some more California people with me.

I like lots of planning time so thanks for posting this super early!

Sue · Mar 8, 2010

Per time question: we're going to try something a little different where we're going to ask that you groom your animals in the order they'll be classified so classification can start at about 7:30/8:00 and the show will start at 8:30. Does that make sense?? So the first colors to be judged will be the first classified, and then the next. I just want to make sure we're done no later than 2:00 with presenting the trophies and cleaning up and out by 3:00. There's absolutely no wiggle room on the time.

Sound good??

arf2184 · Mar 9, 2010

Sounds like the morning will be rushed, but that's ok. I'm looking forward to it!

Olallie · Mar 9, 2010

Oh I might be able to go to this one! I was waiting and waiting for the announcement. I will be looking for another female to add to my "herd". Hopefully the californians will come, because they are awsome, i've been to the ECBC shows down there. I must say it was fun and informative, also good quality chins!

If anyone from my neck of the woods is going, or passing through oregon, I have an animal that I would be willing to donate for a raffle. I'm unsure if I will be able to attend.

aznmexaggie · Jun 13, 2010

I think I will be going to this as well, carpooling with Tabitha. I have never attended an MCBA show and am pretty excited! I estimate I will probably bring about 10 chins with me.

Shahna · Jun 19, 2010

Count me in... I'll see you all there.

Kelley · Jun 21, 2010

My first chin show. . .I will be there for sure.
I know Linda Clark is planning on going.

mrweaw · Jun 23, 2010

I am planning on going even if I have to leave the rest of the family home

I'm in Philomath, OR and if you still need someone to transport an animal Phoenix let me know, I might be able to help. I'm really looking forward to a wonderful learning experience!

mrweaw · Jun 29, 2010

I am interested in getting a nice solid black **** Ebony sometime soon and was wondering if anyone is planning on bringing one to this show for sale.

Either *** would be fine as long as it has a good temperament.

If, by chance, there is something more than a strained muscle wrong with my horse when the vet comes out on Wednesday then my financial plans may change. I hope that isn't the case though.

You would have to ask the Southern Ohio Unit...they're east coast, none of us on the west coast will know a whole lot at this point about the east coast shows.

Spoof · Jun 29, 2010

mrweaw - Try contacting Ronda about the Ebony, she usually brings a few to show. Her email is [email protected]

sheltiefan - The southern shows usually go on during the spring. Look up the thread on the one in Orlando for the southern chapter contacts.

Raffle items

Hi everybody. Well we are just about 7 weeks away from the show. :bliss:
We are still looking for a few more raffle items. Some ideas from items that we have had in the past are:

coffee basket
jewelry (like a necklace and earrings set)
gift cards

So if you would like to donate a raffle item, please contact or Sue Irvin [email protected] or myself at [email protected], with the item description and a picture if possible.

thanks
Claire

arf2184 · Jul 25, 2010

Any hotel recommendations?

aznmexaggie · Jul 26, 2010

I'm excited for this show and the roadtrip up to WA. I will be bringing a raffle item but I am not yet sure just what. In the past I have brought chinchilla art, chin pendants, chinnie gift baskets... it will most likely be something chinchilla related for the "chinchilla enthusiast."

How soon in advance do I need to let you or Sue know?

addictedtochins · Jul 26, 2010

I should be able to get a good rate at Red Lion for anyone. My husband gets the employee rate. PM me if interested. Theresa
