Region 8 Open All-Age Winners (l-r): Bill Westfall, Ryan Westfall with Westfall's Power Trip, Kevin Dixon, Westfall's Mandalay with Garvin Collins, Andy Daugherty, and Allen Vincent with World Class Instigator.
We drew 25 for the Open All-Age and 10 for the Open Derby, fair numbers, and had good weather for all of it. There was lots of birdwork; just about every dog was seen on birds. We had a good time throughout. I want to thank Chris Leeson for coming up and planting the birds; he did a great job throughout. And thanks to all who helped in this trial.
The winners were chosen based on their performance. We saw some very good runs, and overall, I think it was a good trial.
The Open All-Age winner, Westfall's Power Trip (Daugherty), ran a very good all-age race coupled with two nice finds and a good rapport with his handler.
Westfall's Mandalay (Daugherty) took second place. He also ran a good all-age race, handling very nicely with a couple of good finds, all in order.
World Class Instigator (Cochran) took third and did a very good job on the ground, with a very good find, all in order, and finishing to the front.

The Cecil Proctor Open All-Age started on the heels of Region 8. We drew the same dogs. The weather cooled off some but was still good for running dogs. Once again, we had lots of birdwork, good races, and a good trial. I wish to thank all those who helped.

In second was Bonner's Bulletproof (Anderson). He ran a good race, staying to the front with a good rapport with his handler, and had a very nice find.
Third place was Blackhawk's Lucky Charm (Vincent), a very nice young pointer female with a bright future. She ran a good all-age race and had a great rapport with her handler. She looked good on point and had a very nice find.
