BARRY'S CORNER - LIVING IN ELKMONT

When Gretta Armstrong and I went to the Elkmont Town Council meeting and asked their support in Elkmont Cross Country /track program's first 1/2 Marathon we assured them it would bring the town visitors and publicity...little did we know. Little did we know that a 2 year old bloodhound would put the town of Elkmont in magazines all over the world. Little did we know

the race and the dog would put the town's name on every venue of social media around. Little did we know the race and the dog would put the town of Elkmont on every major and local news outlet. 

I am so proud to live in a small town where a bloodhound can bring out the town's spirit and its soul. This little town is a place where we know everyone and we know the dogs that log miles in with not only me and my team but runners who come from all over. I want to thank Ludivine for the publicity she has given our race (newly named the Elkmont Hound Dog Half) and the notoriety she has given this small town we call home. Elkmont is a great place to live, work and run!
