The Season
It’s that time of year again. Children are back to school, the night air has a wee bit of chill to it, the leaves are just starting to show some color, and the Fair and Expo Center is starting to get busy again. We start off slow this weekend with the Rochester Pigeon Fanciers Show. this is one of those shows that doesn’t generate a ton of outside interest, but is very noticable in the “pigeon community.” Before my first time with this show. I never knew there were so many different kinds of pigeons. I just thought there were the pigeons you see on the street that some people feed and others might try to eat. Was I wrong! there are more varieties than you can shake a stick at (and who hasn’t wanted to do that after a pigeon has dropped a little “gift” on your shoulder!).
There are pigeons that fly, pigeons that walk, and even pigeons that roll. There are many different colors of pigeons that fly in variety of different ways. I don’t know or understand the judging process, and that doesn’t hold my attention for long, but it is fun to speak with some of the pigeoneers to learn and see some new stuff.
Next weekend gets busier with the used and antique book fair and the ever famous WORLD’S GREATEST GARAGE SALE. check back soon for more information on these events and if you want to clear out some of the stuff around your house, we still have about 5 or 10 booths left at the garage sale!
Until next time remember the Fexpo Center is “Your place for events and banquets.’
Go Packers!!!
