From STAFF REPORTS

There was a big crowd for the weekend's eighth annual Chattahoochee Valley Poultry Association show and sale at the Coweta County Fairgrounds south of Newnan.

Estimates were that some 2,200 birds were on display at the show which ran Saturday, and again Sunday until mid-day.

Poultry enthusiasts from around the country came for the show. Added to the weekend events this year were a swap meet where vendors could sell everything from poultry-related items to arts and crafts, and a car and tractor show.

Along with the CVPA show and junior show, there was a pigeon show, and the Dutch Bantam National Meet, said Bryan Massengale, president of the Chattahoochee Valley Poultry Association.

While chickens are the mainstay of the event, the show is also open to large waterfowl, bantam ducks and turkeys.

Admission was free for spectators.
