Red Cedar had the grounds and club in great shape. There were plenty of rabbits. We had a couple of showers which was a reprieve from the heat and humidity. People have been training dogs before the trial started and after it is over with, they are out there again. On Friday there was no reprieve. It was hot and humid and tough after lunch for 2nd series. They have
been working very hard and it certainly shows. Despite the heat and humidity, rabbits came good. May they have continued success in the future!
Greg Phillips and Tom Belcher judged the trial. We thank Tom for coming and replacing Dan Bay who had to work. We had 14 13" Males and 18 15" Males. On Friday we had 24 15" Females and Saturday we had 19 13" Females for a total of 75 entries for our trial.
We thank Tom Hawk for driving the cart and bringing the hounds out. We thank our brush beaters, path watchers and marshals for keeping the trial running smoothly. We thank Austin Schrum and Bill Rustem for marshaling the 15" Male Class. Austin you did a great job!
