14^th May 2011

Ulverstone recreation ground hosts many soccer matches and many kids dragging their mums over to have a pat of a chook before the start of their game!

It is great to see so many parents and soccer kids interested in having a look at the Poultry Show.

Many of us including myself find ourselves dodging unexpected run-away soccer balls, while taking our birds into the poultry pavilion...to much of the kid’s amusement!
