RESULTS from Saturday’s race:
1st John James

4th Kip Sulham
Congratulations to John who’s birds earned their first diplomas in what turned out to be a mighty tough race!
A more detailed report will be posted next week when we get it printed out.
Birds were released at 8:45 Sunday morning.
About 75 birds from 7 lofts were driven to Louisville for shipping to the Columbia (200 mi.) release scheduled for Sunday morning. Here are a few photos from the evening, including some from Kenny Fast’s home where the Highview Club meets to ship. We have decided that we will open clocks at 7 p.m. Monday.
I asked the club if they could recall how any of the young birds from Lexington were doing. Most of them couldn’t be specific about any birds based on memory with one exception: Number 9174. They tell me that this YB has two diplomas already this season. It is listed as John James’ bird. Another fellow said he had a blue bar cock that was doing well, but couldn’t recall the band number and I didn’t catch his name.

Let's hope Bob never forgets how to set one of these clocks.

The club will meet at 5:30 on Saturday, Sept. 5, to counter-mark birds for the Columbia (200 mi.) race. David will drive them to Louisville and leave no later than 6:30 from Steve Slates’ barn.
