I had a big speech planned before we gave out the awards but of course for those who know me I get choked up and can not speak(I'm a crier.

I can not express enough how grateful I am that we had so many number out for our ACH hunt. At Perry County we had 70 numbers out and after Perry County we had 90. The day of the hunt we had somewhere around 270 numbers out!!! Way to step up everyone!!!! We still turned out 203 hounds!!!!
