Although i have never done it , i would get a couple of show pens , couple of nice coloured birds a old racing clock , ets system , ets rings a few old leg rings , perhaps a few fancy birds from a fancy keeper the more props you have the more intrest you will get , try get a liberation photos / film utube has a few U.N.C libs on race baskets get as many props as possible photos ectra and just explain the process from baby getting rung onwards to racing over feild dodging wires hawks and other preditors put a bit of romance into it and the bird battling through to get home and to hopefully win the race hope this helps a bit im sure if you contacted R.P.R.A they may send you the plastic bag packs they give out at country fairs
