Justin Grimes Benefit Hog Bay Competition

Thanks Lamar, it was nice to finally meet you as well. I think we ran the last set of dogs around 1:15am, it was a lot of fun and a great benefit, raising over $10,000.00. It was good to see the hunting community pull together and raise that kind of money for a young man who really needs it. Justins mom posted on face book that they will be making the down payment for his transpant tomorrow in San Antonio, which is great news. It took a lot of work to get the arena ready to host a bay competition. I'd like to thank everyone who pulled together and made it happen. The fruit of all the hard work was an event that ran like clock work with all things considered. I want to recognize Paden and his wife Tiffany for getting all this organized. Tiffany did an amazing job of advertising and getting the word out. Dont know the actual head count but it had to be close to 400 people that attended and we still had a crowd late when we wrapped it up. Once again, id like the thank Skipper Dodson for bringing us a jam up set of hogs and for being our head judge for the competition. Dont know what we would have done without you my friend. There are many others that played a key role in this, Kevin Burks, maybe you can mention some of the others and add anything I might have left out. Thanks for your time.

Lamar, thanks for the invite, I would love to come hunt with you guys. I looked at my ole gator dogs papers, Steve Quick owned his moma Brushy Creeks Banjo Gal, she was out of your Banjo and Oro cross. His sire was a son of Bob Bartz Roughrider dog. Dont know if you remember him or not. Gator was a solid ole woods dog, we turned down a lot of $$$ for him, he is surely missed.

Josh, this was a 1 time deal, but there is a bay pen about to open up in the Livingston area, its not too far to Calloways either from where you live.
