ONCE AGAIN WE ARE INVITING YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN A WEEKEND FULL OF FUN, FOOD AND PRIZES IN A COMPETITION TO BE THE BEST OF THE BEST

Last year’s Derby was challenging with larger than usual losses of young birds, but with 73 birds shipped, it turned out to be just as exciting and successful as in past years.

This year’s format will once again include two races, the Sprint-to-Win and the Canuck Classic. As always there will be great raffles, door prizes and an enormous smorgasbord of food.
