BIG APPLE INVITATIONAL

This year’s Metropolitan New York all-age, all-variety pigeon extravaganza, the Big Apple Invitational, will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2009 at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York.  The doors will open at 8:30am and all birds must be penned by 11 am.

This show is fancier friendly with ample parking, easy accessibility including a Metro-North station one block away, food concessions, pigeon vendors (N.E.P.S., Tony Patti, Image Makers, etc.), a huge pigeon sale section run by Nelson Garcia, celebrity judges including renowned master breeder and Judge John Heppner from California, Master Judge Ron Davis of Florida and many more.

The Big Apple is an NPA state sponsored show.  New York state representative Stan Ryan will be manning the NPA booth and will give away NPA/Big Apple key chains to our visitors.  All exhibitors will receive a free decorated coffee mug compliments of the Big Apple and N.E.P.S.  Appropriately, free delicious apples will be available as well.

All breeds with at least two exhibitors will receive an NPA Champion Certificate as well as Big Apple certificates of achievement.  Each breed with at least 20 entries will receive a gorgeous crystal Best of Breed award.

For visitors wanting room accommodations we feel we have the very best at the most reasonable prices.  The Hyatt Summerfield Suites is a 10 minute drive to the show hall and has one or two bedroom suites available for our visitors with a full complementary breakfast.  Each room is a suite with a kitchen, living room and bedroom.  A one bedroom suite is $79.00 per night.  Make your reservation early calling 914-251-9700 and reference the County Center Bird Show.

This is our second Big Apple Invitational and all signs point to a larger show than last year’s 1,640 entries.  Don’t miss this great opportunity to see New York’s finest show pigeons: Domestic Show Flights, NY Flying Flights, S.F. Tumbler Breeds, Show Tipplers, Flying Baldheads, Bronze Tipplers, Danish Tipplers, Rollers and many more, including the rare breeds and Pouters and Croppers.
