SPORT PROMOTION CONTEST WINNER ANNOUNCED!

For the sixth year, the AU proclaimed April to be National Pigeon Awareness Month. AU members were invited to compete for the honor of recognition for most sport promotion presentations during a month-long contest. 

The contest ended April 30. Members were asked to send a summary of their presentations to the AU. Entries were reviewed and a winner was selected. 

American Racing Pigeon Union is pleased to announce that this year’s winner of the April Pigeon Awareness Promotion Contest is Gary Carns in Pennsylvania.

Since he attended an AU Zone Meeting two years ago in Pennsylvania, Gary has looked for opportunities to promote the racing sport. Most recently he spoke to Cub Scouts and also released 160 birds at the annual area Special Olympic Games. The release was covered by local television news.

Since Gary became acquainted with the materials from the AU, he has made steady use of them. He also stays in touch with the AU office for any new items he can utilize.

As the winner of this year’s contest, Gary will receive an AU embroidered polo and an AU gift certificate valued at $25 toward any item sold through the AU. 

Congratulations, Gary!
