The Kingston and District Poultry and Pet Stock Association hosted a very successful show on Sunday June 2nd, 2024. The show was dedicated to the memory of Dave Snider, one of the founding members of our Club, who passed away last year. The show was also a tribute to Bill Harrison who, although very much still active in the club, resigned as our show chair last year after more that 20 years of service in that role.
We had a good sized entry with 462 exhibits from 31 exhibitors. 58 large fowl, 193 bantams, 95 pigeons, 92 waterfowl, 6 rabbits, 3 turkeys, and 2 guineas were shown. We were especially pleased that 13 of our exhibitors were juniors. In our shows the juniors compete for the open show awards and are then judged again for junior awards, and several of our junior winners also placed highly in the open show.
We thank Troy Laroche (poultry), Jeff Draper (pigeons), and Jim Richards (rabbits) for doing a great job with the judging - thanks especially to Jeff for stepping in to help us out at the last minute.
