The KDPPSA would like to thank all of our exhibitors for making the show a success. Special thanks are due to Wayne Heyman for his continued generous support of our shows. We were please to debut this year the "Wayne Heyman Award" for the overall show champion in appreciation for Wayne's continued support. We also thank Russel Homer for his generosity in donating his 50/50 winnings back to the club, and the Quinte Pigeon, Poultry, and Pet Stock Association for donating the Bob Dainard Memorial trophy for the Champion Young Pigeon. We are also grateful to Frank Goodfellow for donating the shavings used at the show, to Dave Snider and The Exhibitor newspaper for donating special awards, and to Bill Harrison, Alex Wright, Dave Snider, Glen Brosowski, Gillian Jenkinson, and Dale Baker for donating items to our exhibitior's raffle. We are very grateful to Bill Harrison for doing his usual excellent job as show chair and for donating some of the very nice show boxes he makes to our new junior exhibitors - this year Dawson and Kristoph Bartholomew were the lucky recipients. Thanks very much also to Chris Bos and Kirsten Miller whose excellent work with the canteen was appreciated by everyone in attendance. Last but not least, we would like to thank everyone who helped set up the show hall and run the show - we couldn't do it without you!
We were very pleased to welcome to the show the enthusiastic members of the South Frontenac 4-H Poultry Club and other local 4H Clubs. The KDPPSA very much values the opportunity to introduce young folks to the world of exhibition poultry, and we were extremely grateful to Judge Laroche for taking the time to give an clear and very informative seminar to the 4H groups. As can be seen in the images below, the seminar was much appreciated, and everyone paid rapt attention. Thanks also to Reg Watson for allowing his Old English Game Hen to be used as a judging example during the seminar.
