Lure Coursing enthusiasts gathered at the Oatlands Plantation just south of Leesburg, Va., for the CHAMP (Coursing Hounds Association of The Mid-Potomac) lure coursing trial Aug. 26-27.
The two-day event drew 117 entries. With beautiful weather and a great coursing site, the weekend was one to remember. The club furnished lunch each day and had watermelon and cantaloupe for the exhibitors, making it a picnic of a weekend.
Sunday was a great day for Dual Champion Daydream's Irish Mist SC. This Whippet finished its Field Championship on Saturday to become both a conformation champion and Field Champion before winning Best in Field on Sunday. This pretty black Whippet is owned by Rebecca Bowman-Mealey.
