This past weekend the National Beagle Club hosted an event to raise money for the Hounds F4R Heroes organization which raises money to help those who have served our country by enabling them to participate in activities such as hunting and fishing and field trials of various sorts. They also support the training of comfort and service dogs for veterans. This event was organized by Matt Lafley and Steve Fox, two NBC members who enjoy beagling and wanted to do something to help our veterans, and with the support of their families and friends, and NBC members like Sandy and Jay McKenna and Liz Reeser the event raised over $6000 for this cause while at the same time giving beaglers, both NBC members and non-members, a chance to enjoy running their hounds and watching other hounds run. A truly successful event thanks to the inspiration and hard work of Matt and Steve.

Joe Hester has suggested that I am more efficient in getting out the results of these beagling events when I have some success, so to prove his point I have attached the results of the first annual Hounds F4R Heroes 2 couple pack trial.
