Spring Exchange in Expo Houten, always different and innovative. Are you also coming on 1 & 2 March?
11 Feb 2025
In many lofts the youngsters for the coming season have already been ringed by the breeder. They will now grow up nicely with the drier winter weather of the last week. In the meantime we are looking forward to the milder temperatures in the spring to let these youngsters fly out or to send them on transport to a One Loft Race (OLR) and then we immediately think of the Spring Exchange in Houten...
With almost 200 exhibitors, there is a lot to see again in Expo Houten. We might just reach that magical limit of 200 exhibitors because there are still a handful of places available for salesmen of youngsters. But then those youngsters must be ringed by now and the fancier should be able to distance themselves from them to sell them. There are also many fanciers who take their home-bred youngsters to Expo Houten. These for transport to one of the many OLR’s, a growing group of exhibitors where there is also something to experience. Imagine, you would win the 1st Prize at an OLR final, what an experience would that be! In addition to all the novelties that you can see at the pigeon sport businesses present in Expo Houten, there is much more to experience too. Because the Spring Exchange has many new ingredients to let visitors experience the pigeon sport and the coming competition season.
Just think of the Expo Houten’s famous Wall of Fame (organized Compuclub) where only the VERY BEST Dutch pigeons are exhibited from various disciplines and rankings. A space for a "Meet and Greet" with top fanciers has now been created there (sponsored by Eijerkamp). New this year is a specially designed "Interview room" where live streamers can interview their intended conversation partners. This "Interview room" is also located on the terrace in hall 3 and is sponsored by the business community, namely; Comed, Neorni, Belgica de Weerd, Vanrobaeys, GPS/Spoorderkampioenen, DHP Cultura, Herbots and Beduco. These live streamers will make themselves known through modern Social channels such as Youtube, Instagram and Facebook.
By the way, a nice page has been made on facebook with numerous items about the fair. The timeline of this page is now coming to life. Definitely recommended to follow the Facebook page Voorjaarsbeurs Houten. There, the exhibitors will post a lot of news about their participation in the coming weeks. Also pictures of the youngsters they breed or discounts and promotions from the business and much more current news!
In short, a visit to the Spring Exchange is an experience and that is why many thousands of visitors from all over Europe and far beyond come to Expo Houten to experience the start of the new season! Aren't you?
