Future HCDS Plans
The 1980 National Cage Bird Show will be held in Jacksonville, FL. Plans are being made to combine events with an American Federation of Avicultures mini-convention. This should generate tremendous interest. A "two for the price of one" event I Exhibitors can attend the Nat"l Show plus have the opportunity to hear top national aviculturists speak on their specialties in seminars organized by the A.F.A.
Projected NCBS plans for 1981 are for Kansas City, and Toledo in 1982.
