 NORTHEASTERN STATES SHOW RACING PIGEON ASSN.
2007 ANNUAL and FUTURITY SHOW

from Earl Sheaffer, Jr.


The Northeastern States Show Racing Pigeon Assn. Annual and Futurity Show was held November 3, 2007. It was held in the comfortable and spacious hall of the Youth For Christ Center in Lebanon, PA.
There were 13 lofts represented with 190 birds shown. Several exhibitors from outside of Pennsylvania again made the trip in to show their birds with us. As always there was talk about this past breeding season, the winners of the shows gone by and who may be showing and winning at the shows to come. There was the opportunity to look over, handle and give good positive reflections on each other’s birds. The two big questions asked where, “Would Frank Gobla win the futurity show the third year in a row and would Stan Relinski win his fifth championship in the annual show?”

For those of you that have not attended our show we do something out of the ordinary as far as entries go. We use what we call, “An Open Entry” show format. No class entry book is kept. The exhibitor mails in his/her entry with the total number of birds they are showing along with the entry fee for that number of birds. The day of the show the exhibitor is responsible for knowing what their entries are when classes are called as birds are not checked in. The judge picks the top three birds in each class and only those three birds with their band numbers are recorded. This system works very well. It cuts down on paper work and time.

We had the honor of having Ray Troyer from Goshen, Indiana, judge the annual show. Stan Relinski won Best Old Hen with a silver, Stan Relinski won Best Old Cock with a silver, Stan Relinski won Best Young Hen with a silver, and Paul Anderson won Best Young Cock with a blue bar. Stan’s silver young hen went on to win Best in Show and Paul’s blue bar young cock went on to win Reserve Champion.


Our judges again this year for the futurity portion of the show were, Dick and John Lipski, a father and son team from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. John judged the young hens and Dick judged the young cocks. After John picked the best hen and Dick picked the best cock they came together and picked the champion futurity bird. This year Paul Anderson won champion with a blue bar hen that had great color and structure. Frank Gobla won reserve champion with a fine red check cock. Rod and Jean Hand took 2nd reserve with a nice red check cock. There was a nice purse of money won by the top three birds. This money was generated from the registration fee for the futurity bands. The exhibitors with futurity birds were given the option of showing their birds in the annual show upon paying the regular entry fee.

As always there was a great selection of prizes obtained for the raffle. The Northeastern States Show Racing Pigeon Show has one of the biggest and best raffles to be found anywhere. There was pigeon feed, medication, and loft supplies, small appliances, whatnots, and a lot more. There was the annual auction of some really outstanding non-flowns from top lofts in the US.

The Northeastern States Show Racing Pigeon Assn. wants to thank those wonderful ladies, Jean Hand, Ida Grier,  Fran Bampfield, and Donna Sheaffer who worked so hard in the kitchen and prepared and provided a tasty assortment of  food and drink for everyone to enjoy. Rod Hand as always did another smashing job at putting this show together and managing it so everyone could  enjoy it. Yours truly was the show coordinator and I did my best to keep things moving and running as smoothly as possible. A special thanks to those who helped set up the show and to those that stayed and helped tear down and clean up. The Northeastern States Show Racing Pigeon Assn thanks everybody for coming, supporting, and enjoying our show and our great hobby. Without everybody’s support, those that volunteered their time and the exhibitors with their fine showing of birds, this show could not take place and continue to be the success that it is.

The Northeastern States Show Racing Pigeon Assn. 2008 show will be held, Saturday, November 1, 2008. It will be held in the Youth For Christ Center in Lebanon, PA. will be the judge for the annual show. Dick and John Lipski have again graciously agreed to judge the futurity portion of the show.

Our focus and goal is to promote the non-flown show racing homer, to support, encourage and advocate for all breeders/exhibitors of non-flowns, and to better our hobby as a whole.
