Goldfields Poultry Club Show

How gorgeous?! Princess Olivia takes her chicken balloon for a walk at the
 Kalgoorlie-Boulder Fair last weekend. This is one of Lydia's favourite photos.
Colourful balloons for sale in the shape of ducks, hens and chicks.
A great display by the Goldfields Poultry Club in the Wool Pavillion.
Three caged prize-winning birds are presented in the foreground
 with lots of poultry themed kids art in the background.

 volunteers who made the poultry show at the Fair a reality.
