More times than not, we receive negative comments and complaints about the largest retriever event in the country — the Master National. But each year we manage to present a quality event with an all volunteer army. If you see these three men this week, please say thank you. They represent the past, present and future presidents of the organization.
2015 Master National President Sam Ferguson, 2016 President Jace Tramontin, and 2017 Master National President Larry Kimble, together have dedicated almost 25 years of service to the organization. Quite an accomplishment, showing great dedication to the retriever community.
Throughout the year, these men have given countless hours in the planning of this event. And like those before them, they do this for the love of their dogs, and the continuation of the hunting retriever sport.
We would also like to recognize and thank past presidents of the MNRC as well.
