I've updated the prizes a few more times as we have picked up more items. We have a couple more items to pick up this week and the prize package will be complete. The running is starting to get really good around here as the snow melts away and the forecast for this week and next weekend looks great, this will be a great event.

I've talked to 3 guys tonight who are running dogs right now at spots we will be guiding to this weekend and the running is unreal.

This is a painting of Chris Reynolds dog done by the same woman who will be doing the paintings of the hunt and show champions just to give everyone an idea of the quality of her work.
