It goes without saying that the Fall Festival is always a highlight of ANTA’s year … and 2012 was no exception. With a conformation match, flat racing, lure coursing, intro to earthdog, the club store, and lots of good food and good company, this was one of the best events ever!

And ... they're off!

And a good time was had by all.

Winner of the Merry of Beaufin Bitch Stake was Ch. Avalon's First Glisten of Abbedale handled by Amanda Arruda.
