Western States Joint Meet
Huntsman Jennifer Hansen and the hounds are home from a splendid jaunt to the Western States Joint Meet! She's shared pictures and her report just before the WHC board meeting on April 11, 2019. The joint meet was hosted by our friends at Red Rock Hounds. Jennifer attended the joint meet with Jt. Master Tami Masters and members Kate Gormally, Eric Steimert, Aubrey Roth, Patty Steimert and Sarah Glasser. If you were unable to be there on April 11 to hear about their adventure, you may enjoy her slideshow of pictures below (Photos courtesy of Nancy Stevens-Brown/Photos by Waldo).
