Thank you
A special thanks goes out to everyone who came out to enjoy the wiener roast on October 9. We had great weather and I have not seen so many members, family, and guest at the field in a long time. (at least 30+) We had planes and heli of every shape and size and the flying was wild, at one time we had so many planes in the air you got dizzy just trying to watch them. The 40% planes really put on a show as they danced in the sky with their graceful moves. The heil flying displayed by Ken Mitchell was great to watch as always and It makes you wish you had half the skills he has. Let's talk about the food, I know one thing for sure you didn't go home hungry, that was the biggest spread of food and it was all great. I would like to thank Jason Purtee for coming out to spend the day with us, Jason had such a great time he became a member to our club. Welcome Jason!! I would like to say thank you once more for everyone who made this a fun and great day. We need more weekend like this one.
2011 Zarks Cookout October 9 th.
It's soon going to be the second Sunday in October and we all know what this means, the 25th. annual club wiener roast. So get those planes and helis ready, cook up a great side dish, and get your fork and plate ready because we will have a great day of flying and eating. Jon has reported the grills are working great and if you don't want hot dogs then bring anything you want and throw it on the grill. I guess I forgot one thing, the club meeting. We will try to have a meeting between all the flying and eating so I better add the minutes from the last meeting.
