First I'd like to say a Huge thank you to the Clay County Coonhunters Assoc., and especially Brian Collins and his help, one other fella there and I'm sorry I can't remember his name, but I think it was Jamie, but those guys worked real hard to pull this event off and done a tremendous job, hats off!!

Next I'd like to thank:
Jamie Estepp for judging the show and MOH on Friday.

David Gardin for Judging on Saturday.

Curt Willis for calling the dogs out for us on Saturday, along with Amanda Alexander and Gerald Black for joining David on the panel to select the WV State Bench Show Champion.

Congrats to Lisa Hunziker and Fancy, this is an awesome Duo that deserved the win!!

Nick Brady and Sonny for the Nite hunt Championship.

Sorry if I missed anyone but thanks to everyone involved and last Congrats to the new State officers for the next two years:

JR Barnes - Pres.
Bill Wilson- VP
Brian Collins- Tres.
Bryan Ash- Sec.

This group of gentleman will do this association great, we are honored to have been a part of this event!! Thanks for allowing me to serve as president the last two years, but in all honestly, JR and Bill were the core of the association, Thanks Guys!!
