Please as beaglers and rabbit hunters, take a moment to read this story written by sports writer/beagler, Jeff Abbott, who covered our Rabbit Derby last Saturday. He knocked it out of the park for us beaglers!!!
EVERY club in the UKc needs this type of coverage to promote our sport. Check with you local newspapers to see if the would be interested in writing about your next event.. It may even help with new active members for your club!
Take a moment to leave a comment about this story and show a "United" beagling community! Jeff, will be coming back in May, to cover our trial as well!

Thank you for checking it out!

Nicely written. His last few paragraphs really hit the nail on the head. Sounded like a great event to attend! Kudos to you Rick G for organizing a fine event!

I think it shows that this was so much deeper than a beagling event. Ive done this all alone till this year, as a tribute to a dear friend thats gone and his wonderful family. Now that I have the club to support it, I know this event and special day will keep going long after I check out as well! Its a great feeling knowing that!

Beaglers sure are a special bunch of people!

I think it's great to see events like this happen! Nothing but good for the sport all the way around. It gets old sometimes listening to guys talk about which hound or bloodline is the best,who won what trial etc.

Relax a little and have fun!

Great job guys!

Even though the runs were choppy and short it was a really fun day. Our weather has sucked since early December. Steve you should try to make it up here next year and brave the elements. I'll take you out hunting while Ricky G. wears his apron instead of his hunting jacket. LOL
