A special treat, Kari's display of Iowa Blues also was awarded Best Display in the American Breeds category.  Huge congrats!

We hope everyone enjoyed seeing the 'Blues' at the fair.  Thank you to all who were able to attend.

Thank you, Tor!

Original Photographs Discovered!

3/29/2014

 
Picture
The IBCC was recently contacted by Tor Janson of Seed Savers Exchange.  Together with Bill Muller, a discovery was made that the SSE library still contained the original photographs from Kent Whealy's article, History of the Iowa Blue.

Previously, the only copy we had obtained had badly degraded black and white copied photographs.  Tor and Bill were kind enough to send us large resolution color scans of the original photographs, these with great excitement have been added to our historical archives!  These photos mark a snapshot in time that few have witnessed of the Iowa Blue in previous decades.

Thank you Tor and Bill, from all of us Iowa Blue enthusiasts!  These photos will be very valuable to the breed and our club as we move forward.
