Fall BBQ and Fun Fly
The smoke from all the fires in the region may have caused fewer people to attend than usual. The weather was good otherwise. We did lots of flying, balloon busting and Lucky Hand Poker (cards awarded for each flight and for balloon busting). Phil Tallman had the best poker hand to win a Radian glider ARF. Thanks to burger chef Dave Walker, and to John and Betty Sawyer for hosting the event.
Mug for Mark
Colleen Bumgarner will get a mug to award to Mark Scarborough for his exemplary service as club president.
