Special thanks to Wartom Hunting Club, Tony Ray of Roanoke Kennels, Mike
Carr with The Pride, Debbie Johnson with Johnson's Telemetry and Moose Gowers with Showtime for their generous donations. More to follow!
**A correction, entries on the 3rd, Thursday, at noon, and then Friday morning before first day's cast. (Yes, I'm getting old).
Also, in addition to the sponsors already named, we would like to thank Wally and Denise Johnson of Johnson's Dog Supplies of Ruffin, NC for their generosity.
For the hunters that will be coming and parti****ting, we would also ask that you patron Tony Ray's store, next door to the Community Center. He has an abundance of drinks and snacks and country ham sandwiches and enough ice to fill your coolers while you are riding around catching up your hounds.
If I understand correctly, there will also be t-shirts for sale, so please come prepared to buy more than a few.
Just a last minute reminder, Amy is still giving out numbers.
If you've never outside fox hunted before, if you have, it you one day want to, if you just want to hear the "real deal," come on and join us, listen to the hounds, and stay and fellowship over some very fine meals that are going to be cooked and served.
Mike Carr and The Pride have very generously donated a 35 Yeti cooler and we will be selling raffle tickets for it and the drawing will be held Saturday before the trial results are announced.
We look forward to seeing you all. Safe travels and good luck!
