Greater Hammond Homing Pigeon Show 12-17-2006
Judge Mike Ganus Co-winners Bob Barker and Ralph Kulcsar Judge Andy Skwiat.

Judges, Mike Ganus and Andy Skwiat came to a draw when neither judge would give in or choose a winner. They decided to have co-winners and purchase another trophy since both of the racing pigeons were rated flawless and both were so beautiful.
