The beauty of starting a new year is just that.  It is a new year, a new start, with new hope for being the best we can be.  So it is with Possum Trot.  

There are those who have given much of their time, blood, sweat and tears as well as financial donations to make Possum Trot what it is today.  For those, we are thankful.  For those who come and support Possum Trot through attending, participating and visiting with other cowboys and cowgirls, we are most appreciative.  For those who do so much work behind the scenes we are in awe of and are most grateful for their kindnesses and dedication in being a part of the Possum Trot family.    

2009 is going to be the best year yet at Possum Trot.  We will meet new shooters and their supporters.  We will nurture each other and support the Possum Trot ways.  We will have fun and fellowship while we do it.  

We will grow together as we find new adventures on the wilderness trail.  

Here is looking forward to Possum Trot 2009.  We encourage you to come along for the ride and see where you new paths take you.

We are not sure just where to begin. But we want to thank ALL of our Family and Friends at Possum Trot for the kindness and thougthfulness you ALL have shown to us over the past two years.  It deeply moved us both when a package from Preacher Be Quick arrived and we saw the two “SPIRIT OF THE GAME” awards and two “WINNER” belt buckles in among the items I was expecting. I had to call Preacher and ask him why these items were in the package. I thought maybe they had been placed in the package by mistake. He said, No, It wasn’t a mistake and they were being given to us because our Possum Trot Family and Friends felt we deserved them. Wow, that really moved us both. I gotta say, it did bring tears to my eyes that ALL of you feel this way about us. We thank each and everyone of you from the bottoms of our hearts and souls. We both pray that soon I will be over most of my health problems that have been keeping me sidelined for almost two years. We want nothing more than to be back at Possum Trot shooting all of you.  So, once again we thank all of you for keeping us in your prayers and thoughts. 

Your Family & Friends

Hezekiah and Hepsibah Hawke

Well it’s been awhile since I’ve written any comments in the ole Possum Tales. But Preacher, ya have really moved me with yer poetic poems. You really missed yer callin’. The neat thing about your poems is that you can picture in your mind the person your wrting about and the activity he or she is doing. Preacher, keep up the great job.

It was a great event at Mule Camp in Georgia recently. What a fine time we had visiting with other cowboys and cowgirls, representing the Highland Regulators at the events, and having a fine evening on Saturday. We even had a chance to play a little while we were there…that is when we were not focusing on our shooting skills. We encourage all of you to make plans to represent us at other events as they come up. You’ll be glad you did.

Howdy friends. We’ve had some remarkable information coming from our website in the past. It’s now time for a new look and we wanted you to know we will be working on the site in these coming weeks to freshen it up a bit. Feel free to drop us a line if you want to offer your thoughts and we’ll see if we can incorporate them. As always, we have a fine group of talented cowboys and cowgirls who know a little about computers and who will be guiding the process. If you want to contact us about anything to do with the site, just drop us a line at jcook@ellenrose.net and you are sure to get a quick response. Until we meet again, take good care of yourself.

It had been six hours since I got into my car on the way to Tennessee. I heard about Possum Trot for years but had never taken the opportunity to visit. My man and I decided we would head to the hills to find out what it was all about.

On the way up the gravel road and around the bend we were greeted by (more…)
