AN OPEN INVITATION TO ALL!! COME ONE, COME ALL!!
OUR SHOW IS PRIMARILY A FUN- RAISER, yes, FUN RAISER!!!. JOIN US FOR A FUN-FILLED, FRIENDLY COMPETITION THROUGH THE JUDGING CAGE!!!
This SHOW is a wonderful chance for pigeon fanciers to come together, to watch experts judge our birds, to have drink and food and to enjoy CAMARADERIE!
By now, you have noticed that our club regularly offers FREE FOOD, and refreshments. In order to offset this expense, we are auctioning a small group of pigeons so that the events we offer to the fancy do not hurt our treasury.
We are featuring some birds donated by club members! Since we are hosting the this year's 2012 DIXIE CONVENTION AND RACE, our members have a SURPLUS OF BREEDERS that we cannot breed due to AN EXPECTED LARGE NUMBER of incoming DIXIE RACE ENTRIES.
This is the way we do things for the benefit of our club.
It is not our intention to slight any other group! The functions we have at our club are designed to expand the entertainment boundaries of the pigeon game in our area. We honor any other group's option to hold an event, but we saw January as being empty of any other local club events.
When race season ends, we still have to feed and care for our pigeons; there should also be additional ways to enjoy them. Last year's show proved this!!
Our SHOW is a way to pass the vacuum of another dull January. COME JOIN US FOR A GREAT TIME!!!
Please check forms below to view, download or print; the SHOW PROTOCOL, ENTRY SHEET, and GENERAL INFORMATION regarding our SHOW.
We look forward to seeing you. Please join us to compete IN THE SHOW CAGE, and enjoy talking pigeons on January 21, 2012.
Come watch the great Alvin Petty pick out the best performance birds, in 16 classes. Trophies and ribbons to be awarded.
Come watch eye-sign man, Adil Hrnic, grading the breeders in 7 classes. Bring your best pigeons and see how they measure up!!!!
Use these forms: Show 2012.pdf, Show Protocol.pdf, Show Entry Sheet.pdf
Yours in the Sport,

The NARPC has a very high number of world class racing pigeon fanciers and their lofts are loaded with a top quality racing pigeons. Our president, Derrick Humphreys (the Mate) is definitely one of them. The Mate is going to advertise his loft in the next IF Yearbook. The IF is the second biggest racing pigeon organization in the country! I recently visited the Mate to take some photos of his loft to design an Ad for him. All I can say is that I'm very impressed with Mate's loft and his pigeons.
