The facility was outstanding and the hospitality from the local club and field owner was second to none. A huge thanks to Dave Walters, the farmer who generously has converted a good deal of his 300acre farm to all things RC! In addition to the beautiful runway and clubhouse we used for the contest, he maintains a second runway and field for Sailplane, another for Free flight, has 2 different RC car tracks, and has a 3/4mile lakefront on a 300 acre lake for boats and seaplanes. All that and he made breakfast and lunch for us each day.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I’d also like to thank all those that participated in the Team USA 50/50 raffle. I think my district takes the brunt of this since we do them at EVERY contest, but none the less we still had a pot of over $200 collected from only 16 pilots. And for the first time in many a 50/50 raffle… your’s truly took home the prize :):) It just means I’ll be buying more in the future!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again to all for the hard work so that we could have a fun weekend!!</div><div><br></div><div>-Mark</div><div><br></div><br><div>
