Nice, I wouldn't have been able to make it yesterday but the 24th sounds like it'll work.

Good to hear. Hoping for a BIG turnout for our 10th

OK looking good were on for Saturday guys. I know its a holiday weekend but I do hope most of you can still make our event. We expect another AWESOME raffle table courtesy of HeliDrect. A BIG surprise is planned and if all goes according to plan, you wont want to miss this event.

I'm planning on coming, but there's no one out this way (western MA) I can find to come along with me. Any friendly 'freakers going who be up for sharing their shady tent with me?

OK!!!

We are on for Saturday. I know we have a REALLY great raffle table this year and we will be having a special raffle of a helicopter ride, from the field for 2 lucky winners! A full size Robinson 44 will be landing in the early afternoon.

Don't be late, bring all your gear and have a great time tomorrow!!
