2011 AU CONVENTION - 2ND DAY

SEMINARS




Serge Van Elsacker was first up in the Pavilion.  Since he became the King in the Union Antwerp, he has put together a string of ace pigeons, king titles and Olympic pigeons.


TOURS




First stop was the Heard Museum.  The guided tour began with the Art Fence that is the symbolically colorful row of artwork greeting visitors at the exhibits entrance.


Walls of Hopi Katsinas illustrated stories of cultural evolution in one section of the museum.

A tour of the Desert Botanical Gardens and the Las Noches de las Luminarias completed the agenda for the day.

Back at the Pavilion, we eagerly await the results of the 2011 AU National Youth Race.
