Birds of a feather

The Great Pigeon Race, 2-4 p.m. Sunday at Camp Loughridge, is a benefit to support the Center for Counseling and Education, a Tulsa pastoral counseling group with a 26-year history.

Race day will feature live music, food, a silent auction and the beauty of Camp Loughridge on an autumn day. The main event, though, is a 100-pigeon race for the prize, with sponsored birds flying from Loughridge to their nests outside Tulsa.

As the pigeons arrive at their lofts, computer chips attached to their legs will be scanned and their names and arrival times recorded and displayed back at camp.

Camp Loughridge is at 4900 W. 71st St. 747-6800; tulsaworld.com/ccetulsa
