AU CHICAGO COMBINE MEMBERS SHARE THEIR SPORT
AU CHICAGO COMBINE MEMBERS SHARE THEIR SPORT
WGN-TV in Chicago covered the educational display and presentation hosted by the Morton Arboretum. A steady flow of people came through all day. It was a good time for an exhibit. Lots of families came with their children. The Chicago Combine, members of the American Racing Pigeon Union, coordinated and manned the exhibit with display birds and approximately 80 additional birds for special releases throughout the day.
The Arboretum shelter served as the stage for Chicago Combine members to visit with patrons and share information about the racing pigeon sport. It turns out that many of the people saw the combine members on an earlier public television spot.
AU board member and Plains Zone Director, Bill Mitiu, is on a promotion roll - a few days with WGN-TV and the Arboretum, then on to another presentation and then a potential radio talk show on ESPN Radio.
