Illinois To Host Coonhound World Championship
From the Chicago Tribune:
Illinois has landed the Professional Kennel Club's world coonhound championships, a 10-day event that had been held in Kentucky for nearly two decades.
While residents of Salem, Ill., prepare for the arrival of nearly 2,000 of the nation's best hounds later this month, business owners in Kentucky still are chafing that they lost an event with an economic impact of up to $3.5 million. . . .

Sorry Kentucky, but I'd rather be in Southern Illinois any day if I was coon hunting.
I guess this is a little consolation for missing the bid for the Olympics...I hope the event gets some media coverage, I would like to learn more about coon hunting dogs.
I have been going to the PKC hunts in KY for the last 10 years and it's a great atmosphere for hunting there. It's better hunting for my dogs, too, cause it's all hills and hollers opposed to the flat land of Illinois where the dogs will run through the country for a coon.
