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.
