The Unit Ten Annual Picnic and Young Bird Show was held on Saturday, June 4th, with beautiful weather and an enthusiastic crowd. President Sal Lama was the grill master, turning out great sandwiches. Many homemade desserts/sides were brought by club members.
 
The Show was well represented by the members and out-of-area birds which were sent in for our Auction and Challenge races. The well-known judge Nick Cisco, originally from New York, did an outstanding job. Listed below are the winners:
