“The Hunt” is being conducted by the invitation of the Master. Those who wish to participate, shall be prepared to do so in “full kit”, which in this case, may include the wearing of Autumnal shades of plaid, stripe, or floral, in addition to those who’ll wear the traditional red jacket & topper or equestrian riding helmet.
On this day, we shall gather for a “Meet” in the county of Snohomish which will be festively dressed in her beautiful autumn colors and setting. There, to the sound of “Tally HO!” all of “the hounds” will be encouraged to draw the covert red fox from the glen. In SITU’s version of the Hunt, no actual animal shall be harmed. It will be your OWN tracking and good sense to spy the elusive fox on the property of antique dealers. You will also likely spy prized steeds upon the “land,” but you will not be riding either British or side saddle. “Nay,” your enjoyment shall be limited to photography, admiration or the acquisition of a vintage find for your collection.
Our day begins by traveling the highway which connects the City of Seattle to Canada. From there, one will divert onto lesser traveled roadways until reaching the fertile lands of South Snohomish County, once owned by the esteemed son of the Earl of Gee. Friends of Lady Victoria’s Private Hunt Club, may be joined by the members of the SHS Hunt Club (Snohomish Historical Society) for this much anticipated gathering!
At the conclusion of the Hunt, those interested can partake in a wonderful spread of delicacies at a nearby eatery. There will NOT be any pre-arranged location, nor a pre-negotiated rate for dinner. Everyone who wishes to eat out, does so at their own risk and at their favorite location.
