| 2004 World Cup North West Region | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My very first roller competition was the World Cup Fly in 2004. Our Regional Judge was Dave Szabatura from New York. I just had some young birds bred in January of 2004 but wanted to support the fly. I was not surprised when I got a DQ for two birds landing early. I learned a lot by participating. I had the opportunity to travel with Dave Szabatura and Ivan Hanchett up to Canada and down to Washington. We had a good time and I cant wait to do it again. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
