Fall Featherfest Show Report  2016 

The Vernon Pigeon and Poultry Club has held a stand-alone show in the fall for close to a decade. This show is called Fall Featherfest.  Initially it was held in November but was moved several years ago to October to improve driving conditions for out of town exhibitors.

This year, as usual, it was held on the Interior Provincial Exhibition fairgrounds in Armstrong, B.C. in the Horticulture Building on October 15th. There were over 500 poultry  and waterfowl entered and close to 200 pigeons.  This was the largest Fall Featherfest since we hosted the APA Canadian National show six years ago when we had close to 1000 birds entered.  Our Club has been awarded the APA show again for next year and it will take place on October 14, 2017.

Heather Hayes and Joe Mazur were co-chairpersons for our show this year.  They worked closely with Club members to stage a very successful show that offered nearly $1000 in prize money to exhibitors.  Daniel  Fry-Shaw from California judged the show and all reports indicated that he did a fine job! The pigeon judge was Frank Seip of West  Kelowna , a highly regarded judge in the Fancy.
