the kids with the pigeons and can’t wait to see the babies they
bring back to the show ring this season!
I have found that the OGO are a very docile breed to han-
dle and are very good parents. My friend Lisa teases me about
“piddling around” in the barn all the time and I do find myself
spending a lot of time working my birds and getting them ready to
show - it’s very relaxing for me.
I can’t wait to see all of you again this year and hope every-
one is having a successful breeding season. I love that each year
is a clean slate and anyone can win anything! We are all striving
for that one “special” bird and I can’t wait to see the fruits of our
breeding labors this show season!
I would like to thank all the officers in the OGO club for their
tireless work they do to keep things rolling - as I get more involved
I am excited to help move this club forward. I also want to thank
the NPA for supporting all breeds and everyone who puts their
precious time in this hobby. Very excited to start my third year, and
looking forward to helping with the books at the shows!!!•
