Change of Fixture for 9/29

We have changed the fixture definitely for tomorrow to the roadsides next to the Polo Field in Maple Plain, with an 8:30 AM start.
You can park on Pioneer Creek Rd. between Turner and Quass Cutoff, on the east side facing north, or on the north side of Turner facing west, across from the west end of the polo field. Remember to leave enough room for traffic to get by, move horses out of the way for cars, etc. and remove your manure.

Update to the fixture

The October 2nd hunt will be at Hitsman Lane in Independence NOT at Alpine Farm

Professional Photos from the Blessing

Karen Kennedy took some Beautiful Pictures at the Blessing of the Hounds on Sept 6th. She is going to donate 25% of her profits from purchases of these pictures back to LLH.

Kickoff of the LLH's 51st Season

Dear Everyone,

It's 9:00 PM and all is well. We are due to begin our 51st season at 7:30 AM tomorrow morning at the parking area off Pioneer Trail behind Kitty & David Crosby's house.

I walked several of the areas we will traverse tomorrow and it looks as if the 2" of rain that supposedly fell in Medina has soaked in. We will avoid several areas of short mown grass but all in all we are a go. And the weather report says the rains will begin at noon! YIPEE!

Lots of bug juice on horse and human!

See you in the morning.

Cindy Piper
