A Fun Day at Melissa's Farm

We regularly attend shows on fairgrounds, the CRCS triple open shows on February 14 at Antioch are a case in point. These shows accept all of the ARBA recognized breeds and the venue is usually crowded, fun but not intimate. We still have lots of photos and reports about the CRCS triple shows on February 14, we would like to take a break and post some photos of a trip with shows to judge Melissa Magee's home and farm on Saturday, February 21, 2026. We will go back to posting photos from the CRCS shows at Antioch in a few days.

Melissa and Ed are known for having the most delicious white peaches during the summer. Betty and Casey got to visit the peach trees on their farm. Their farm has 40 acres with trees, farm equipment and animals.
