Fall
Hunt Test = Fantastic Fun! The
MSHRC Fall Hunt Test was held on September
28-29, 2002 at Twin Hill
Ranch. Despite the monsoon two days prior, the grounds were in excellent shape
and the weather seemed more reminiscent of the lazy days of summer
rather than of fall hunt test weather.
Each event ran smoothly, thanks to volunteer teamwork and a very
organized Hunt Test Committee led by Hunt Test Chairman, Ken Gilbert.
Charlie’s Concessions again was there to serve hungry
participants, spectators, and yes, perhaps even a few hungry dogs. Thanks, Charlie! The
open air barn was the site of the barbecue and raffle Saturday evening.
Thanks to A&A Catering for providing the traditional barbecue
and catfish feast that we all associate with a MSHRC Hunt Test.
Once again, hats off to Rob Browne for procuring an endless
selection of raffle items! Those
who successfully completed the day’s events were presented with
qualifying ribbons for Junior and Senior stakes.
Master level handlers and dogs were able to cease biting their
nails and claws as those who were to advance to the next round on Sunday
were announced. A moment
was taken to remember friends and fellow club members Lew Dawson and
Darryl Disney.
Although they may no longer be with us physically, they remain
with us forever in spirit.
