The folks at Hamilton Middletown are working to get everything ready for the big Iams trial in June. New kennels have been started. A new water pump has been installed to insure plenty of fresh water for the hounds. Rabbits, rabbits, rabbits. They have them! The entire running grounds have been "landscaped" and
most of the serious hazards removed.
The Iams banquet is steadily filling. While there is no charge for the banquet, seating is somewhat limited so it is important to get your tickets early. All the Iams Company requests in return for their support of the event is our attendance at the banquet, so every Beagler in the area should make an attempt
to attend. For details about getting tickets, see the ad in the April issue of Hounds and Hunting or call 1-866-546-9583 (toll-free).
There will be some special, rare Beagle items in the fun-auction this year. The program will be fast-paced. The new hats will be given out at the banquet. And, of course, the Sweet Sixteen will be announced. This year, those hounds will get special recognition at the banquet.
So, there are some new things going on. Everyone is welcome. Come on and see all the hounds and houndpeople at the Iams Trial...
