On November 26^th, 27^th, and 28^th,  the Canadian Dove Association held their 25^th Annual Show & Sale with in the Oxford Auditorium on the Woodstock, Fairgrounds as part of the Specialty Pigeon Show. Once again we received a welcome far beyond our expectations. There were an astonishing number of fanciers visiting our section throughout the day. The CDA members found themselves kept very busy answering questions about raising domestic doves and foreign pigeons. All in all, this year’s show was another tremendous success.

             There were 26 Ring Neck Doves shown in 12 different mutations; 21 Diamond Doves shown in 7 different mutations; 11 Doves were shown in the section for Senegal Doves and Smaller in 7 species, and 5 Doves were shown in 4 species in the section of the show for Doves Larger than Senegal Doves.

           We would like to thank our judge Bernie Van Erp, Parkhill, Ontario, our clerk Ken Becker, the show manager, Dave House, Innerkip, Ontario, and the auctioneer, Bernie Van Erp. We would also like to say "Thank You" to all the suppliers and members who donated items of interest to the auction, which raised $116.00. Thank you for your generous support and contributions! After the show and sale on Saturday, we gathered at the Copa-Cabana Steak House for dinner, and the presentation of our show awards.
