Tar, I think your plan would be enjoyable and it really is what I see happening at the few larger events I attend. Kind of like the Family getting back together for a day or weekend even if everyone doesn't like one another. You take out the peace pipe, have fun, heal old wounds, plan for the future. It is all good and focuses on the Love of Coonhunting everyone there has in their Heart. Even if we all coon hunt a half dozen different ways.
I am kind of trapped in one spot with supplies but I do manage to make the rounds and say hello to everyone at least once. What I love is seeing the Families or Kids that have just left the Dog Barn with a new pup. They are leading them, or the pup is dragging them, carrying them in their arms. Over their shoulders or on there backs.
I saw one young Man that couldn't been more than 5 years old at the Grand American this year. He was like a miniature grown Man. Had his boots, jeans and western shirt and hat. It all fit perfect and looks like they were just pressed. Had a pup on the leash. He would be standing there with his parents and if that pup pulled he would give him a slight jerk. Just like I have seen grown men do a thousand times. I guarantee by the end of the weekend that pup was completely trained to lead. With nothing more than a kid with love in his heart on the other end of the leash.
