The Tri-State Budgerigar Society's officers and members wish to extend to you
our warmest welcome together with our sincerest thanks for attending our twenty-third
annual show. This year we are excited to be hosting a two-day
show for the second time. Each day will have a different judge and slightly different
format.
2014 also marks our thirty year anniversary as a club. Tri-State has come a long
way from that date in February of 1984, when a group of people met with the desire
to form a club. Many clubs in that time
frame are no longer in existence and there are fewer shows. We are delighted that our
club remains strong and so far, has been able to put on an annual show that has now
expanded to a double event. It gives our members great pleasure to continue the
tradition of hosting a show and giving budgie enthusiasts from near and far a place
to gather for a common interest.
If you are a visitor, we hope that you will enjoy the experience and take full
advantage of this opportunity to learn about budgie breeding and showing. New
members are always welcome and an application can be found in this catalog and
also on our display table, which you are invited to browse.
If you are a breeder entering your budgies in competition, we wish you the
best of luck. May you find success, and win awards and bragging rights commensurate
with the hard work you've done to get here. Winning against the level of
competition characteristic to the Tri-State Show is an achievement to be proud of.
After the Saturday show, exhibitors and club members are invited to join us for
some camaraderie and relaxation at our annual after show backyard cookout nearby.
Should you have questions or experience a problem, don't hesitate to approach
the nearest club member for assistance. We also wish to thank everyone for supporting
Tri-State by attending our show and for donating merchandise, time, services, birds,
and so on. It is because of all of you that we are able to host a successful annual
show and keep the club going.
