Windsor Fairgrounds

Windsor, Maine

Volunteer of the Year 2018

ERIK NELSON

We would like to honor Erik, our Fearless Leader, President of

the Central Maine Bird Fanciers. Erik has worked for the club

almost since the beginning of its inception. We are so fortunate

that he has shared his expertise as a licensed judge for both the

ABA and APA with us. He has judged shows for free, presented

many workshops and answered countless questions along the

way. Because of his enthusiasm for poultry exhibition and

poultry, in general, he has been instrumental in many of us

getting our starts in our hobby.

Erik took over the leadership post for CMBF when founder and

President Austin Brann passed away. He heads our monthly

meetings, runs our fund-raising auctions, sets up and tears

down for shows, and is always there for whatever is needed.

Besides this, he provides sane advice, assistance and support

when needed. He is the backbone of our organization, and

recognition for his efforts has been way too long in coming.

When you see him at the show, give him a personal thank you

for all he’s done and continues to do for us.

Entries must be Post Marked by: September 22nd, 2018
