The smallest of all our affiliates is the Pensacola Greyhound Association. Its members are booked kennels racing at the Pensacola Greyhound Track, located in the extreme northwestern part of the State of Florida. President of this group is W.R. "Ray"Etheredge.
The Pensacola Association has served as a major political force for us throughout the past 12 years. Former State Senator W.D. Childers, who was retired due to Florida term limits the last Legislative Session, was from the area and was also the Dean of the Florida Senate. Much of our prior political success can be attributed to the Senator and the greyhound men and women of the Pensacola Greyhound Association.
Primarily a Navy town, Pensacola is located in the Panhandle of Florida and borders Alabama. The owners of the race track here also operate the track in Mobile. It is also the home of FGA/NGA member Sava Varazo who has been a major contributing force to our polictical well being in Tallahassee. A former kennel owner, Sava also works for the State of Florida as an enviromental specialist. His participation with the PGA has been most beneficial to the Florida Greyhound Association and to the industry as a whole.
