The CCC Annual Bird Show and Sale is typically held in late October and includes a judged show, sales of canaries, finches, doves, quails, small hookbills, and supplies. In addition, there are raffles for various items, both bird related and otherwise! Whether you are interested in showing, selling, buying, learning, or just looking, the event is family-friendly and a lot of fun!
