Headquarters & Directions
638 Dreyfus Road Berea, KY

Take exit 83 off I-75 and turn east onto Duncannon Lane. Travel 3.8 miles to US-25. Turn right onto US-25 and proceed 1.1 mile. Turn left onto US-421 and travel 3.3 miles. Turn left onto Dreyfus Road/KY-3376. Proceed 2 miles to clubhouse on right side of road.

Just wanted to bring this back to the top. We are looking for a large turnout and some great hounds to show off their running ability at the trial. Bring your hounds, family and friends and come join us for a great time. If you are looking at getting into the trial scene come and watch and if you like what you see join our club as a member.

Just Curious why do you call this the Super Bowl?

Jimmie, that was this trial's nickname back in the late 80" & early 90's. That was when it was the only AKC Mid-West trial in Ky. Everyone usualy came to this trial because it was one of only 5 or 6 clubs in the Mid-West & the running grounds were so great compared to other clubs. Entries would be between 60 & 100 per class back then. Jessamine County went through some changes since then ; some good/some bad & it's reputation wasn't very good for a while. Now that there are 22 clubs in the Mid-West Association & 6 clubs in Kentucky with excellent running grounds, I doubt that Jessamine will ever be as big as it once was, but I'm glad to say with the new officers that it's reputation of being a well ran & respected beagle club is back. I think that's what Duane (old blood) meant when he said, "The Super Bowl is Back".

BTT

Bump for the Bowl.Been doing all i can to get my hound trial Worthy.If you have been wanting to check out the Midwest this could be the one a weekend of Dogs, Good Judges ,Horses and lots of Bs.

Me too Jimbo; got all those tough Reggie dogs to contend with; they come from every direction- N,S,E,W & I think one dropped in from space last week. Win or lose gonna have a good time! See you there.

Hey You All
Hoping to make the trial this weekend on Friday and run a couple of big bitches.Don't know if I've got the dog power to run with all the World Famous beaglers that will be in attendence but what the heck,all it will cost me is entrance fees!!!
Just wondering how is the game supply on the running grounds this year?
Will look forward to visiting with fellow beaglers and seeing some very good beaglers do their thing.Attended this trial 2 years ago and enjoyed myself very much.Jessamine County put on an excellant event and the judges were top flight and the running grounds in Berea are super.

Have a safe trip shady, Ya know it outta be a nice trial. weather sucks but running has actually been decent.Probaly wont see ya as a big male is all i got but good luck with the bitch class.

Shady,
Rumor has it this year the rabbit population is much better on the CENTRAL KENTUCKY WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA. Mid-Ky had their trial around end of January and they had plenty of rabbits. I wasn’t there but the handlers I talked to, said most packs didn’t go 5 minutes before finding a bunny. Hopefully, this is true and we have plenty of rabbits this weekend.

Good luck to everyone,
Earl Rice

That was a year i cant get back.Maybe this year we can do a group pose,Let earl or donel jump outta of a cake or something.Earl you are right i did hear game supply was better this year.Every cast had game as long as i stay away from the road i am ok with that.See you boys Saturday btw my 6 year old boss emily will be with me and a piece of advice emily dont like getting up early so therefore when she aint happy aint nobody happy.She is her mommies daughter.Ill in the Am.

Looks like it's gonna be good weather; got about an inch or two of snow, calm winds & calling for warmer temperatures toward the weekend. I've been down w/ the flu the last couple days, but gonna tough it out tomorrow & see you Saturday Jimmie. If we get picked up early , we may go somewhere and pleasure run for a while. Later, Greg

Oh,oh.
Just checked the weather for Berea.Said 36 for a high tomorrow but a wind chill of -1 below to 9 above before mid day.I'm starting to feel a bit whimpy.Those are the kind of temps. / windchill stuff I moved south to get away from 15 years ago.Even in Tn. I can't catch a break this winter!

Awe, these weather men don't know what they're talking about. You'll warm up ; just stand over the steam fom all the B.S. being spread around. lol.
