The Findlay Racing Pigeon Club

The Findlay Racing Pigeon Club


The Findlay Racing Pigeon Club was formed in the mid-1950's to promote the breeding and racing of homing pigeons by fanciers in the Findlay, Ohio area. Today it consists of approximately 12 members from Findlay, Lima, Leipsic, Mount Blanchard, Fostoria and North Baltimore, Ohio. The club is now flying a west-southwest race course through south-western Indiana and into Missouri, with old bird season running from early May to the end of June and the young bird season running from mid-August until early October.
