There is no possible way for me to thank everyone for all the support for this hunt!
I would like to say special thanks to Jimmy Smith, and Chad Pitman for doing such a great job in such short notice!
Paul for letting us use his wonderful facility.
All the judges and hunters
Scott Head for taking numbers!
Hillbilly family for cooking
Those from a far;
Cowgirl kennels for driving 7 hours to help out I kno that was expensive just to get there and then to enter dogs!
Everyone that donated goods to be auctioned and everyone that showed up to help!
I kno in my heart Ledbetter was smiling on us in joy to know so many great people loved him!
Don't mean to leave so many out but the turnout was so great I could never begin to name them all!!
From myself and the Whole Allentown family we thank everyone!!
I would not have missed it for the world. I know that Ledbetter was looking down on us that day not a sound even from the hounds was made during prayer I know it gave us all the chills but it was a great feeling knowing he was looking down on all the great things Radar chad and bird put together for him this weekend. Congratulations to all there was a lot of great running from the hounds
