<DIV>WOW, what a great contest!!! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> The Gardnerville Club, Tom Messer (CD), Al Messer and Rich Verrano
teamed up to put on a super contest. Weather was beautiful, good turnout
with 29 contestants, beautiful flying site and good support from the host club
all added up to a great time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>More details and some pix on the District 7 website <A

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This contest reminded me of pattern contests from 10-15 years ago with
the larger turnout, large raffle (about $2000 in raffle prizes), contest hats
for the contestants and people traveling long distances to attend.
Several from as far away as Phoenix (Troy Newman, Greg Frohriech, Rusty Fried
and Frank Kelly) and George Asteris even came from New Jersey!!!
That's some serious pattern travel!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks to the club, Tom, Al and Rich for putting together a great time
for us all.</DIV>
