With the new year beginning, the West Tennessee Field Trial Association hosted three stakes in five days: Shooting Dog, All-Age, and Derby. Dogs, horses, and people, too, showed tenacity and grit through 34 sunny and rainy braces. From Thursday to Monday, breakfast, lunch, and dinner were served to landowners, members, judges, dog owners, handlers, and local friends. Laughter filled the air, and stories were reflected on each day's hard work around WTFTA's traditional bonfire. Thank you to the dedicated judges, Shannon St. John and Chris Sellers. Thank you to our field marshals, Allen Currie, Ike Todd, and Dale Pool. Thank you to Hassell and Allison Smith for the delicious fish fry. Thank you to the landowners who help continue these trials each year: Bill and Allen Currie, Skip Taylor, Alex Rickert, Dr. Gene Spiotta, Ed McClanahan, and Ike Todd.

Dancyville, Tenn., January 5
