In 2015, Poultry Shows began again in Mississippi - beginning with the
Pearl River Classic.
Over the years things have changed, we have adjusted to new and different ways of doing things! Every year brings forth new adventures.
One thing that will always be a constant - our reason for hosting the
Pearl River Classic Poultry Show.
Yearly we dedicate our poultry show to the memory of our dear friend, Betty Roberts. We continue every year only because of her determination in seeing
Exhibition Poultry back in Mississippi!
Betty Roberts, a true friend, missed by many!
Our Junior Exhibitors get the opportunity to participate in their own
Single Junior Show and Showmanship!
