Mike Ganus Family Loft open house tour and 2018 auction photos

I had a great weekend visiting Mike Ganus at his open house loft tour and auction. I got to work a little on the next episode of Pigeon Beat, handle some world-class pigeons and meet some new and old friends.  Mike had an impressive, world-class collection of breeders on display at his loft and 60 children off of them that sold at his auction.
