Fun Fly
Jul 26^th, 2012 at 11:29pm

The Fun Fly is still scheduled for Saturday at 9:00am. Les and I mowed the runways, Rick, Glen and Dan completed the Pit, Parking Lot and Whipper Snipping. The tall grass on the approach to the West runway has been cut, the Outhouse has been Limed,cleaned inside and out, Pit fence is repaired and Randy has mowed the edge of the runways back 15 ft. The place looks great!!!! Al has a handle on the Contests and Prizes, Everett will get the dry ice for the coolers and Davey and Brian will take care of the Barbecue. The food has been purchased with the exception of the Sauerkraut and Buns etc. I'll pick them up at the last minute so they will be fresh. Dan Marchand will be our Parking attendant.

I will need some help on Saturday morning with the setup of Tents, Tables and the PA. My initial plan was to do it Friday night;but, with the rain I don't want to chance it. Please email me if you can help. I would like to start the setup on Saturday by 7:15am. Also, if you could bring an extra cooler please let me know. It looks to be a great day with temperatures around 25 degrees with 5Km winds.

It holds 80 cups, so there should be enough for everyone. Bruce

The friggin grass has grown about two inches since yesterday. Anyway, I just finished mowing the runways. Ever tried mowing in the dark!! Hopefully, I got the whole thing mowed even. Bruce

It was great to see some people from other clubs I haven't seen in a while. Now, I just have to check the clothes dryer - servos should be nice and toasty-dry about now
