Harness: Brown Jug Society meets, adds Burke to Board

The Little Brown Jug Society held their annual meeting on Wednesday morning (9/21) at the Delaware County Fairgrounds' Ag Center.

The society accepted the resignation of George Teague, Jr. and named him as an Honorary Member.

The society then voted to add trainer/owner Ron Burke to its twenty-five-member board.

"We appreciate the consultation and support George gave us," said Tom Wright, President of the Little Brown Jug Society. "We are also excited to have Ronnie join us. His record speaks for itself."

"I love the Jug, its history and format," noted Burke. "I am honored to have been asked to join the Society."

Burke has trained three Jug champions and a record four Jugette winners. He was elected into the Harness Racing Hall of Fame earlier this summer.
