The Mission Valley Hunt

The Mission Valley Hunt celebrated the fantasy of the hunt with a day of horn blowing and whip cracking. After the hunt, a breakfast was held at the Fin and Feather clubhouse. That evening, the Hunt Ball was held at Carriage Club, where long-time member Arthur Stern was honored. Mrs. Monte McDowell served as the chairman.
