Good afternoon everyone!
And they are arriving! The birds are starting to come in today and we're thrilled this time has arrived - finally!
I wanted to remind folks of the option to meet up with other flyers who are headed down to the loft this weekend, if anyone wishes to reach out to them to have them bring your birds.
Darrin Esch is coming from Tecumseh, ON and driving along the 401 on Saturday, April 24th, to Niagara Falls. He's offered to pick up anyone's birds along the way. Feel free to contact him on Facebook or link with us and we'll put you in touch!
Neil Gonzales is also heading down to Niagara Falls on Saturday, April 24th, making a stop at the Pioneer Clubhouse as well as John Lehman's loft.
If you'd like to drop birds at the Pioneer Clubhouse or at John's feel free to contact Neil via Facebook or through us.
Robert Rotiroti is travelling down our way to drop his birds off on Sunday, April 25th. He can bring your birds down with him if you wish. He is able to collect birds for a couple of days if needed and bring them down to us on the Sunday. Robert lives in Queensville, near Markham.
Feel free to contact him at 289-264-3416.
If you have birds coming with either Robert or Darrin please let us know ahead of time so that we can arrange your entry and payment (or make sure you send that information with the birds).
Excited to get this year underway, keep in touch everyone and look forward to hearing from you!
