It looks like we are branching out(TSC in Milan) That is exciting news, but I am wondering id we should get a calendar together for sale dates. Are we still going to have sales at the TSC in jackson and R&J? I think we are going to run out of Saturdays in a month,lol. What a good problem to have. We may have to schedule more than one on the same Saturday. Any ideas? I'm thinking if we do that,we should schedule those places farthest apart(for example R&J and Milan or Millington) together. That may help turn out.And any of our extreme North or South members, let us know if you want to schedule one for your area. Everyone might not be able to make it, but I bet there are some people who have never attended one would consider it.

Yes we do need to get a schedule together. We have have 6 locations to cover a month so we will have to schedule more than 1 a weekend. I agree we need to keep the days of double sales far away from each other Dyersburg (TSC) Millington (TSC) Jackson (TSC) Milan (TSC) Trenton (The Feed Store) Jackson (R&J Feed) We will be happy to add more in other areas if you can have the store manager contact Gina or myself.

Tim, what was our schedule last year? Was it the 1st Saturday at Jackson TSC and the 3rd Saturday at R&J? We could schedule Millington and Dyersburg on those weekends leaving the 2nd and 4th for Trenton and Milan.I think we need 2 to 3 people at each site to be present for set up/greeting. They wouldn't have to be at each one, but at least one person would need to be there. I could probably be one of those persons for the Jackson locations.

I have got to get back to Rural King and get the form they want filled out. It sounds like alot of red tape just to schedule a swap there and they refuse to let anybody set up with poultry when they have chicks. but this is a large store with alot more goodies than waht Union City TSC has. They also have a large area that is grass. No trees but lots of grass so our birds aren't roasting on the pavement. Their owner parks his helicopter there when he comes for a visit. They are also cheaper than TSC I think it's a great location. On the weekends they are always busy. At least have been when I was there. The manager said that I have to fill out a form and it gets sent to the main office for approval. Maybe we can get a couple of swaps there at least with all the others that are regular monthly ones. I'll shoot for every other month since it's also closer to me than it is to most of the rest of you.

I need to make some totes that say that and some that say I Love Chicks. I think I'll work on that this week.
On another note I got an email that TSC is haivng Chick days soon. That means that our TSC will not let us set up there till they don't have anymore to sell.

When I spoke to the managers of the 2 farm stores here they wheren't very encouraging about having people sell poultry on their property. They seemed to want to make it difficult with paperwork and approvals and such. I can probably get the Co Op to let us set up but they aren't on a well traveled road. They are just off of the by pass. It would require alot of advertising that we would be set up there. Bobby works at the Co Op in Troy but their main office is in Union city. He had said that they would most likely let us set up because it would possibly boost their sales. They don't sell chicks or poultry at all but do sell feed and supplies.

The way I see it if they ain't interested in our sales then pass them by. There are plenty other businesses that are.
