    VA State Beagle Hunt

    The VFBA will be hosting the 3rd annual VA State 2 Day field trial at Tar River Fox/Coyote Pen in Creedmoor, NC on Saturday and Sunday April 26th, and 27th. 4 Champions will be crowned. 2 in the field and 2 on the bench (males and female class).

    Pre-Registration for the hunt starts for all VFBA members on Thursday April 17th at 6pm. Call Tammy Roark to let her know what numbers you will or will not be using. You will use your permanent and hph numbers for this hunt since it is part of the VFBA series.

    All non members can call to get numbers starting at 5pm on Sunday April 20th.

    Tammy Roark phone number 434-294-1441

    Address to pen is: 2696 Sam Moss Hayes Rd Creedmoor, NC 27522

    * Entry fee per dog: $30
    * Height limit on dogs: 17 inches (measured with 17 1/4 inch VFBA stick)
    * Dogs do not have to be registered to run. Dogs will be measured after the hunt if they place (unless they have already been measured into the VFBA previously)

    There will be 2 registration times. The first will be on Friday afternoon from 5-7pm. The second will be Saturday morning from 5am - 6am. You can arrive Saturday morning with your dogs...but they need to be registered by 6am so they can do a walk through the kennels at 6:30am. If you are worried about being late Saturday morning...have someone take care of registration for you Friday afternoon.

    Roll Call/Kennel Walk through: 6:30 am or earlier if possible
    Cast time: 7:00am
    We will run for 4 hours both Saturday and Sunday.

    Bench show will be held on Saturday afternoon around 4:30pm. Wally Johnson and Butterbean are judging it this year!

    SOMETHING NEW TO NOTE!!! - Dogs can be run with blankets IF AND ONLY IF the owner marks the dog with that dogs' number under the blanket. In other words, you can bleach, die, or paint a light painted number on the dog and that will suffice as the dog being marked like all of the other painted dogs. If this is not done, you will not be allowed to run blankets and you will be asked to paint your dog.

    There will be a chef at the pen cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sunday.

    Wally Johnson from Johnson Dog Supplies will be there selling field trial supplies. I also heard from Steve Arnold that Low Ten Outfitters will be there making logo tee-shirts, etc.

    WE ARE ALSO HAVING A NICE RAFFLE AT THIS HUNT TO BENEFIT THE VAHDA. We currently have a brand new TriTronics Trash Breaker System (donated by Dale Morgan from NKC), supposedly a Garmin GPS system donated by Beach (still waiting to confirm this), and 20 bags of Showtime and Southern States dog food. Mike Carr at Pride just donated 5 bags of Pride dog food. Chris @ Three Rivers Dog Supply is donating couple gift certificates. Shortcake @ BB Graphics is making a donation.Roy Neighbors at Bartlett Milling Company is donating 3 bags of feed. Shaping up to be a heck of a raffle. If folks can get some more stuff donated will even be better. Folks like to donate a bag of feed or whatever much appreciated.



    IF ANYONE CAN HELP GATHER UP SOME NICE RAFFLE PRIZES...IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!! JUST CONTACT ME, KEVIN, DENNY, OR SOUL TRAIN TO LET US KNOW WHAT YOU WERE ABLE TO GET.
