Wabash Valley held their License Trial on July 24th and 25th at Northwestern Beagle Club in North Judson, IN. This was the 2nd license trial held at Northwestern on their new grounds. The grounds and club were in great shape and there were plenty of rabbits.

Wabash Valley had 16 13" Females and 26 15" Females on Saturday, July 24th. Bob Hamrick and Jim Ludwig judged the 13" Females and first series was completed around 11:00 a.m. After lunch there were 6 Females called back for 2nd Series as follows:

1st Brace - Copper Creek Merry Ann and Bee Lick Last Kiss
2nd Brace - Surefoot Sherry and Bee Lick Lauren

Congratulations Owner, John E Johnson on new Field Champion Copper Creek Merry Ann!

The 15" Females were judged by Garry Marlow and Paul Sizemore. We thank Paul for filling in for Dan Strauch who had to work. It turned out than Dan was flooded out so he came and helped after he got here. 1st Series was completed before lunch and Garry and Paul called back 8 females for 2nd Series which ran after the 13" Females were completed. 2nd Series was as follows:
