17th Annual Fall Show
October 5, 2014
Windsor Fairgrounds
Windsor, Maine
DEDICATION
This show is dedicated to CMBF member, Dr. Robert Hawes. Bob has
dedicated hundreds of hours of service to our club. He has graciously
shared his valuable font of poultry knowledge and advice both formally in
educational sessions and judging services, and informally, to all ages who
asked. He has loyally served us in so many ways: setting up and cleaning
up for shows, serving on committees, creating our breeders’ list, and
judging showmanship competitions. He is currently on our Board of
Directors.
For all of his achievement, his years of judging at fairs and shows, tutoring
juniors and judging their birds, and mentoring the rest of us, Bob received
the richly-deserved recognition of the APA at last year’s New England
Poultry Congress. It is our time to honor him for his service to the Maine
poultry fancier.
Bob, you are a gentlemanly competitor, a scholarly and tireless mentor,
and most of all, a warm and congenial friend to so many of us.
THANK YOU, BOB, for your long and valuable service to the
Fancy and Central Maine Bird Fanciers!!
Bob is shown here with his number one fan and
wife, Alice. She has graciously supported him and
his poultry interests AND our club for many years.
Amongst many other breeds that have
enjoyed improvement due to Bob’s
knowledge and care, the Bantam
Columbian Plymouth Rock is a current
favorite along with his Cochins.
