Friday not as lucky.
With all that said and done I would like to congratulate the Committee that put on the Tenn State Hunt and Show.
Well done.
Saw new faces and visited with old friends.
The community made us feel welcome .
And the Resturauant we where directed to in Rutledge was second to none.
See you next year.

You guys did a good job never seen so many vendors at a hunt of this size. Can't wait to see how big it is next year. It was also nice to see all the out of state people GA,NC,SC,VA, and KY is the ones I seen there.

all should pat them selfs on the back. it takes alot to make a hunt run smooth and have a great turn out. lets get more members involved and more members signed up for all local clubs you guys did a wonderful job. keep up the great hunts. more out of state hunters will show with this kind of program. good luck next year looking forward to it.

They hunted 97 dogs Friday night. Do you really think that you could have doubled that #? They did a great job.

Just wondering if the location didn't allow for them to draw dogs from WV, VA, NC, SC, GA, KY, etc. It was pretty big turn out...or so it seemed to me. Can't speak for the hunt, but the show was BIG and top notch dogs were there!

I won a little and got beat more, but I had a great time and look forward to next year!

I thought it was a quality event! If you didn't make it this year...might want to make more effort for next year..... :-)

had a great time, except for some reason, the heat was on instead of the A/C!!!

lots of ppl, vendors, spectators as well. since it was the first, there should always be room for improvement. the committee can see where there may have been issues and adjust accordingly for next year.

congrats to all the winners!
