Update…Update…Update…
After all the rain that we have gotten, it has left the grass runway usable. We have decided just to have a hanger party. Party will start at 6:00 pm. Food at 7:00. Live entertainment and dancing till midnight. Please bring a covered dish if possible. Hope to see you there.
We want to invite you, your family and friends to the end of summer fly in / drive in party hosted by David Valaer and Ron Barson Saturday, October, 20, 2018. Good BBQ, drinks and potluck dinner will be starting at 5 P.M. We plan for dancing with live music in the evening with the party wrapping up at around 11 PM or later so we will be having a lot of fun! We will be cooking BBQ and have beer and wine after the flying is completed. Feel free to bring drinks of your choice, side dishes salads etc and we will have a Texas sized feast. Feel free to spend the night if desired and bring bring sleeping bags/blow up mattresses for the grass and large hanger as many of us will be staying in the large hanger that evening. Obviously make plans accordingly if you fly-in to stay the evening if you’d like to have a beer, or you stay until dark as the runway isn’t lighted, or if you desire to go to a local hotel that evening and we can coordinate a ride to get you there.
