It will be a separate but comple- mentary series with no conflict- ing dates, more promotion and could act as a feeder series for the hare & hounds. The Youth H&H Series will continue to be supported and social media will get greater at- tention. In looking at social me- dia reach, one statistic surprised everyone: The city with the larg- est number of H&H series "fans" was Ensenada. The second larg- est number of fans came from Tijuana. Las Vegas had the third largest number of fans.
