Happy Thanksgiving!
28th November, 2013.
The Aiken Hounds’ annual Blessing of the Hounds in the Hitchcock Woods is one of Aiken’s favorite, longstanding Thanksgiving traditions. Each year, the ceremony is part of the Aiken Hounds’ Opening Meet, which officially kicks off Aiken’s busy hunt season. Now in its 99th season of hunting in the Woods, Aiken Hounds is one of four hunt clubs in the area
As is the custom every year, the community is invited to observe the ceremony, which takes place at Memorial Gate in Hitchcock Woods at 11 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day. The ceremony lasts for about 30 minutes, but visitors should allow 90 minutes altogether for finding a parking spot and walking to Memorial Gate and back to their vehicles.
We took a short - cut through the woods and had to jump this small river.
It was a cold morning in the woods.
