RULES

NEW for 2016: This show is not a National Pigeon Association sanctioned show, but rather is intended for fun

and to generate interest and diversity. Pigeons of any breed are welcome, but please be aware that the judge may not be as familiar with some of the breeds, but will make every effort to make it an excellent show.

The show will be organized in the following order:

1. Breed; 2. Variety; 3. Color (if appropriate); 4. Age and Sex.

Substitutions will be allowed in the same color and class. No other substitutions will be allowed. Disregard of this rule will result in disqualification and forfeiture of entry fee.

All classes will be scored through 5th place for the benefit of breeders and the general public.

No birds shall be handled except by the Superintendent, Superintendent’s assistants, judges, owners, or

owner’s representatives approved by the Superintendent. The utmost care will be used in handling all birds, but the management will not be responsible for loss through fire, theft, accident, or any other medium.

Handling and selling birds will not be tolerated without the knowledge of the Show Superintendent. THIS

RULE WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED.

Exhibitors, or their agents, will be permitted and encouraged to shag their own birds during the judging.

DISQUALIFICATION: The right is reserved to disqualify all unworthy specimens. Each specimen must be the bona fide property of the exhibitor and shown in its natural condition. Birds showing symptoms of disease, when received or during the Fair, will immediately be returned to the owner and the entry fee forfeited.
