Charles City County Ruritan Club hosted their annual Steak Feast, September 19th, on the bank of the James River, on beautiful Berkeley Plantation. Established over 60 years ago, this civic organization help lead good causes, such as the Charles City Library campaign and scholarships for high school students. PAH were represented by Robin and Eric Strom and Sue and Martyn Blackmore as volunteer food servers. Eric and Martyn joined the male grillers who all cooked the "man-sized steaks", Sue and Robin had the less smoky and cooler job of dishing out bread rolls and salad! There were many community members and landowners in attendance plus a few PAH members. A fun evening! - Sue Blackmore

PAH were warmly greeted at Whippoorwill Farm during their VHSA Associate Horse Show, Sunday September 22nd. Merri Musso set up a superb booth, introducing the show riders to the history of fox hunting, and Master Travis set up refreshments and finger food for anyone visiting the booth. Assistants, Denise and Brooke, are fast becoming great ambassadors for PAH, expertly guided by Merri. If Clinton had not have been working, he would have been there too! Martyn and Sue brought along 4 hounds - Huckleberry, Daystar, Moonbeam and new girl, Breezy. They were excellently behaved (kept on leashes) and were happy to hang out in the shade of the pop up tents. They attracted many visitors, of all ages, and inspired many great questions regarding hunting and hounds. We all fell in love with one 8 year old young man who kept returning to hang out with the hounds. Respectful, full of knowledge and now a hound lover. Hopefully he and his 14 year old sister (who has the most laid-back paint pony) will come and hunt with us!! A wonderful few hours and an ideal PR opportunity for us. - Sue Blackmore
