Besides showing our birds to compare them to others efforts, the show
world is full of other GREAT aspects! Friendships are forged by
exhibitors and a network of breeders across the country has been made to
share experiences from breeding and handfeeding to pairing ventures.
Below are some of my best friends in the cockatiel world as well as some
show pictures.
Kathy Short (Woodinville, WA) and myself taking a break from all the
ACTION!
Juan Cotto (Puerto Rico) and Kathy
Nothing like sitting around and sharing a Pepsi! Linda Arnett
(Laguna Hill, CA) and Allen Fox (Pelham, NH). Linda and Allen are
both on the NCS Board of Directors!
Al Mitchell (Yorktown, VA) is always working the shows.
Without guys like these, the NCS shows could not go forward!
Jenna Arnett winning a beautiful ribbon and pennant for the Youth
Award.
And the winner is.... Josh Maple (Garner, NC) accepts his
trophy from Judge Phil Feret and Ignacio Perea.
2006 Saturday Night "on the town" at Chevy's! NCS Exhibitors
had a great time at Chevy's. Rounds of Margaritas for ALL!
Sherri Lewis (Virginia) and LeighAnne Haygood(Georgia) deep in
discussion at the RDCBS Specialty Show weekend!
Wayne and Wendy Labanca (Rhode Island) enjoy dinner at RDCBS!
Scott and Kim Mackey (Michigan) and myself (donning glasses). Making
sure that all are having a great time is one of the many jobs of a
show delegate.
