Do you attend bird shows / fairs / expos?

I am curious how many people attend these events. Mr Rick has been really pounding away at our events calendar and the calendar is STUFFED with events going on almost each weekend some where. Curious how many people attend these events? How you hear about them?: and what attracts you to one show over another if at all?

I love going! Looking at all the different types of birds and getting really good deals on just about anything bird related.

I go to about 5 every year. One "mixed" reptile and bird fair, and 2 bird fairs held at the WaCo fairgrounds, plus two more bird fairs held at Quality Cage Company's warehouse/office.

That, of course, doesn't include dog shows/expos/events.

I attend shows. The shows I pick are large, run by a bird club and not a private person. A club that is known for putting on a good show and having great raffles is a big plus. I also try to go to shows that do not raffle live birds just to show my support.
