PKC $30 O-E Now Available For 2013 Season - Revised -
Evansville, IN-
Monday July 09, 2012
Since the new $30 PKC Open Event option was announced on July 09, we have had lots of input about this exciting new opportunity for PKC Clubs and PKC Members. The vast majority of the input, including the National Directors and many Hunt Directors, has been very positive and in support of the $30 hunt option. Without question, it does help the clubs and the hunters!

However, some members have requested an alternative plan that would allow cast winners be paid back their entry fee of $30 rather than $25, as in the initial awards schedule. We obviously agreed that this would be a very good thing for the hunters due to the high cost of traveling to the hunts. On the other hand, we did not want to take anything away from clubs because many of them are hurting. We did not want a reduction in escrow funds either, possibly jeopardizing future State Championship purses.
After many hours of discussion, I am very pleased to announce that we have revised the $30 Chart of Awards (see below) to alleviate all of these valid concerns. In order to generate the funds needed to award $30 cast winners, while maintaining a significant club income and accumulating strong State Escrow accounts, the PKC fee has been reduced back to the $25 hunt level of just $3 per dog. The final outcome is that PKC will take nothing from the additional $5 per dog entry. As a result, 100% of the additional $20 generated per 4-dog cast will go directly to PKC Clubs and PKC Members winning their cast.
Independence Day - 2012
Evansville, IN-
In observance of Independence Day, the PKC Office will be closed Wednesday July 04, 2012.
The Continental Congress approved the final wording of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. They'd been working on it for a couple of days after the draft was submitted on July 2nd and finally agreed on all of the edits and changes.
July 4, 1776, became the date that was included on the Declaration of Independence, and the fancy handwritten copy that was signed in August (the copy now displayed at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.) It’s also the date that was printed on the Dunlap Broadsides, the original printed copies of the Declaration that were circulated throughout the new nation.
For the first 15 or 20 years after the Declaration was written, people didn’t celebrate it much on any date. It was too new and too much else was happening in the young nation. By the 1790s, a time of bitter partisan conflicts, the Declaration had become controversial. One party, the Democratic-Republicans, admired Jefferson and the Declaration. But the other party, the Federalists, thought the Declaration was too French and too anti-British, which went against their current policies.
After the War of 1812, the Federalist party began to come apart and the new parties of the 1820s and 1830s all considered themselves inheritors of Jefferson and the Democratic-Republicans. Printed copies of the Declaration began to circulate again, all with the date July 4, 1776, listed at the top. The deaths of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams on July 4, 1826, may even have helped to promote the idea of July 4 as an important date to be celebrated.
Celebrations of the Fourth of July became more common as the years went on and in 1870, almost a hundred years after the Declaration was written, Congress first declared July 4 to be a national holiday as part of a bill to officially recognize several holidays, including Christmas. Further legislation about national holidays, including July 4, was passed in 1939 and 1941.
