The United States’ largest and premier annual pigeon show

The Show promises to be a San Diego grand event

Already known for its loyal following and long history among pigeon fanciers, this show is expected to be one of the most exhibited and talked-about pigeon show in years. It’s taken 33 years for it to return to the city, and in January 2009, when it was announced that San Diego was awarded the show, organizers were hard at work billing the event through the clubs and key principals world-wide. Many people in several countries are already talking about it. Why? One of the obvious reasons is that San Diego is a premier destination in January, and it’ll be a vacation destination for their families. Many of the shows recently have been held in colder climates of the U.S. because many pigeon exhibitors live in the rural areas. So this one is well anticipated, especially since the hotel is near the airport and centrally located in the heart of San Diego.

The Grand Hall and Resort

Show committee members and Town & Country reps inked a deal that promises to be win-win for everyone! The show will be held in the resort’s new 41,000 sq.ft. Grand Hall. It’ll be a week-long event with the hall filled with up to 6,000 pedigreed, exhibition pigeons, several hundred exhibitors nation and world-wide, and include vendors and activities staged throughout the week. Every bird exhibited will be judged, and many others will be sold or auctioned. Junior fanciers (under age 20) will have experiences that’ll last a lifetime, and master breeders with 40 or 50 years of experience will take part. It’ll be a great spectacle for a hobby once an American cultural icon in the 1900’s, and a great forum for family, pet lovers and the intrigued! It will be open to the public and the media will be contacted. Another big draw to this show is that exhibitors won’t have to travel anywhere to get to their rooms, find a place to eat or to go to a meeting or the banquet. The Town & Country is a 32-acre resort oasis, featuring five restaurants, three lounges, three pools, a day spa and salon, and over 5,000 palm trees, gardens and flowering plants. Guests will stay in charming garden rooms or tower rooms with balconies.
