Thanks to Everyone!
Thank you very much!
Thorny.... for having the building open on Thursday and setting up all the tables and chairs.
Coshocton County Beagle Club..... The Guide Committee, Dave McVay, Max Thornsley, Joe Becker, Melvin McVay, and all others who had a hand in setting up guides for the weekend. It went as smooth as ever and no cast got dropped all weekend. That's always appreciated when every cast has a guide that is with the cast at all times. Thanks to all the officers and members for a job well done in hosting the 25th Hunting beagle Nationals.
UKC Field Reps.... Mike Ridenhour, Jeff Stacy, Donny Yant, Allen Newby, Joe Brown, Kevin Weaver, and Fred Hawkins. Fred did a great job as Master of Hounds all weekend. Everyone did a great job working together with their assignments of measuring dogs, selecting judges, drawing casts, tracking youth hunters results, and sticking around Sunday to help judge the semis and finals. All their help sure helps to make everything flow nicely throughout the weekend. Good group of guys and I appreciate everything they do.
Mike Luchetta (Purina)..... appreciate Mike being on hand all weekend representing Purina. Each entry got a complimentary 2-lb. bag of feed. Thanks Purina!
Jim and Wendy Shumaker..... thanks for the dinner on Friday night. Very good, as always!
Rae Lynn Mercer....... this lady cannot be thanked enough for everything she does from setting up, confirming entries, having all the cast winners entries ready for the Reps to draw out in the next rounds, to helping pack everything up and everything in-between. She takes pride in keeping mistakes at a reasonable minimum and gets an A+ again this year. The days are long but she never complains about a thing. Also, thanks to Jennifer Stacy for sitting in and helping out when needed.
Hannah Spencer.... thanks for working with the owners on their changes and compiling all the cast results and posting them on the web throughout the weekend.
Matt Turner..... nice job judging the bench show this year. Also, a big thanks for taking the time to talk to each kid in the kids show after the regular show. Much appreciated.

A huge thanks to each one of you for sticking around on Sunday morning to help judge the semis and the finals. Sometimes it can be a chore to get enough judges for the semis but that was not the case this year.
Nationals Entrants.... if it weren't for all of you who support the UKC Hunting Beagle program there would be no Nationals. We greatly appreciate each one of you for entering your hounds in the 25th Nationals. Win or lose; we hope you enjoyed the weekend.
Jerry Scott and Matt Turner..... thanks to both of you for your continued support and having been at all 25 Nationals!
Newcomers... if this was your first Nationals, thanks for coming. We hope you enjoyed it and you'll plan to come back again next year.
To all those who stuck around and helped pack up on Sunday afternoon - thank you. You didn't need to do that but Hannah and I sure appreciated all your help. Even that little Braden kid from West Virginia was helping load stuff.
My apologies to anyone I failed to mention. Thanks to everyone!
