1 Proud owners, top animals and striking breed products Part 1 41 st Delta Show 2011 in Zeeland (NL) Text and photos: S. de Bruine 12 and 13 November 2011 it was the weekend of the 2011 Delta show, like each year around this date (at week 45). As usual, it was well organized by a group of enthusiastic people under the leadership of the Secretary Han van Doorn. At the Delta show everyone has his task and these tasks are always perfectly executed, from the set up to the breakdown of the show and everything in between. Equestrian Centre "Manege de Schelde" is also very suitable for such an event. It is a pleasant stay among the cages, to have a drink and something to eat in the cafeteria or one of the stalls in the hall. The quality of the entered animals was high and it would not have been an easy decision for the judges to point out the champions. Right: Best Large Fowl in Show: Bearded Silky pullet, white. 97 Points. Owner: R. Pelgrom from Koudekerke.
