Patti Loft
Racing Pigeons
December 1st, 2007 Auction at the Hamilton Homing Pigeon Club in
Baltimore, Maryland featuring Patti Birds and "Mr. Pro" Charlie Barbiere.
The Hamilton Homing Pigeon Club graciously welcomed us for the big
auction.  From the left is Calvin Morris (Calvin Morris and Son), Patti, and
Ed and Jim Hohman (Hohman Loft) after setting up the birds.
Once things were set-up, the 'Preview' period began in which bidders were
invited to thoroughly examine our birds and their pedigrees.
As auction attendees previewed the birds, Patti (left photo, far left)
circulated to answer all questions.  Soon it was time for the auction to begin.
Our Auctioneer, "Mr. Pro" Charlie Barbiere, ran the event like the true
professional that he is.  Hamilton Homing Pigeon Club's own Ed Hohman
(third picture, second row) was also there to assist.
After the auction ended, we met with some of the winning bidders:
J&D And Son Loft (left), Shannon's Loft (center) and Rico and the Man (right).
At the conclusion of another successful auction Ed Hohman (left) posed for
one last photo with Patti (center) and Charlie (right) and Jeanie (bottom)
Barbiere.
Finally, Patti (center) and sons were off for a quick dinner before heading
back home to New Jersey.
