Tonight the 25th edition of the Pedigree® Stage Stop Race kicked off at the Jackson Wildlife Museum. We could not have asked for a more spectacular setting. Several very special people were recognized in the festivities. Of course Frank Teasley and Jane Ottman, who were the founders of the race, as well as Dan Carter who has taken over as a race director several years ago.

Jane told the story how everything began 25 years ago and was quick to point out: ” No, it is not a love story, I could have killed Frank a couple of times that first year. It is about 2 peoples dreams colliding in a good way.” 25 years the Pedigree Stage Stop Race is alive and well. Here a few shots from tonight:
