The week of the hunt is finally here! Many long and hard hours of preparation have been put in to make this hunt successful and we hope you will come out and join in on the action. A top notch menu is planned that will include steaks, fish, barbeque, burgers and hotdogs, and many more items too numerous to name. Great entertainment is planned for your enjoyment and there will be many vendors onhand showcasing top quality merchandise for the outdoorsman (good time to start Christmas shopping!).

Carl Perkins Classic Coon Hunt !

September 27th - 29th, 2007 in PARSONS, TENNESSEE

Proceeds to benefit the Carl Perkins Child Abuse Prevention Center



In late September of 2007, an event unlike any other will be held in Decatur County, Tennessee. It will be the 1st Annual Carl Perkins Classic Coon Hunt with proceeds benefitting the Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse. The program director for the Decatur County Affiliate is Mr. Clay Jordan of Parsons, Tennessee.

The Coon Hunt Director is Mr. Benny Ray Jordan, Clay's father, who just happens to know a thing or two about organizing a large coon hunt. According to Benny Ray, this hunt promises to bring energy and excitement with something for the whole family to the Decatur County Fairgrounds. The PKC will be sanctioning the hunt. They are fully on board with Jordan and plan on a partnership that will contribute greatly to the success of this one-of-a-kind event.
