Barnhart & Son Lofts

I am a member of the American Racing Pigeon Union, the Findlay (OH) Racing Pigeon Club, the West Central Ohio Flyers, the National Pigeon Association, and the American Dragoon Club. I am a past member of the Fremont Pigeon Club, the Rare Breeds Pigeon Club, the American German Beauty Homer Club, the American Frillback Club, and the American Giant Homer Association. I have judged pigeon shows throughout the eastern half of the United States, and I still accept judging assignments on occasion, both as an all-breeds judge and a judge of some specialty club meets. Some of the venues where I have judged pigeon shows include the NPA National in Birmingham, Alabama; the National Young Bird Show in Louisville, Kentucky; the Kentucky State Fair; Indiana State Fair; York, Pennsylvania; Bay City, Detroit, and Holland, Michigan; Hammond, Indianapolis, Muncie and Hartford City in Indiana; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Fremont, Cincinnati, and Akron, Ohio; as well as several county fairs in Ohio and Indiana. My 2008 judging assignments were the 2008 NPA Great Lakes Grand National, where I judged flying homers and, flying rollers, and the Michigan State Fair in August of 2008. In 2009 I took a year off from judging, but I served as the all-breeds judge at the recent Fremont Fancy Pigeon Show in January of 2010. Matt judged the homers at that same show. Some of the individual breed meets that I have judged in the past include Racing Homers, American Show Racers, Dragoons, Pouters, German Beauty Homers, Frillbacks, and Giant Homers, as well as certain of the rare breeds.
