Silex is about one hour northwest of St. Louis off Highway 61, and this will be at the Silex R-1 School.
I have never been there and am excitedly planning on attending both events. I believe that contact information can be gleaned (apologies if wrong) from River Hills at 136 Zumwalt Road, Silex, MO 63377 or (660)456-7565 or (573)458-7261.
There will also be a Fall Poultry show on September 8, among other things a best rooster and best egg contest, I'll post more as the time gets nearer. Mark your calendars, I'll see ya there! Dorene
