At the 2009 Kentucky State Fair, LRPC junior member Amber Barrow won 4th place in white homers. In grizzles, she took 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th. She also took best overall grizzle, beating the best OB hen and OB Cock. Additionally, she won Junior Reserve Champion.

Congratulations to Amber.
Mickie and I are very proud of Amber. She raised and trained all of her fair birds herself, and according to the judge, her white was good enough to win, but was “kind of scruffy” in the feathers. (comes from being the only person flying actual racing pigeons, I guess). All of her competition were older adults, and whites were the largest class. Not bad for a 9 year old in her first year.
