Red Bluff Pigeon Club

The Red Bluff Pigeon Club has become a model for 4-H participation. Marge and Walt Shaffer have been responsible for the success of several 4-H kids in the club. His students attain top honors and recognition. They have 46 youth members as of April 2007 and 30 of them are flying young birds. Two members have received the top honor of AU Junior Member Of The Year.

The Shaffer’s host the Four Winds one-loft race. All perch fees go to order more clocks. Most students are honor students. He built 30 lofts for the kids and built 33 small hand carriers. They are small enough that children can handle them and handle their birds more easily.

In 2008, AU members campaigned for clock donations for delivery to the Red Bluff Club. A challenge had gone out a couple of months earlier to the Southwest, Pacific, and Mountain zones to see which group could gather the most manual clocks to donate to the big junior club in northern Calif. Dubbed “Captain AU,” AU President, Steve Lawler and his sidekick, Ron Pate, rounded up the donations and delivered two big boxes filled with clocks collected from generous fanciers.

Additionally, the little rented Hyundai was full of 15 more pairs of breeders for the group.

Once the bounty was delivered, Steve and Ron were treated to a club banquet and loft tours.
