Here are some DAS facts: submitted by Jacquie
These bits and pieces of information came from old bulletins, minutes and memory. Any one of these sources may not be 100 % accurate. DAS hosted the National Cage Bird Show three times. The first was in 1987, and again in 1991 and then in 2002. John Zerafa was Show Manager for all three of these shows and for many others.
