Thank you all for your support and thanks to Lake Ouachita for holding this in Brandi's honor. No one loved field trials more than Brandi. She got super excited every time her name was called.

Again, thanks to everyone. We had over 200 hounds entered and good running even though it was still a little dry. Looking forward to seeing you all soon again in Buckville!!
I am so sorry - I made an error and couldn't edit. I know that the Caskey's aren't from Jonesboro, AR. They are from the wonderful state of LA!! They hail from Jonesboro, LA. Wonderful family!
I would also like to thank Marshall Lewis for his kind words! I couldn't think of a "better" winner for the first Brandi Noles Memorial Challenge award than Howard County Kennels, Mr. Wilson and his son!!
