MARKS Field. It was a mostly sunny day with afternoon temperatures in the
mid-nineties, high humidity and moderately gusty winds. The crowd was
estimated at 250-300 members and guests in attendance. Each year more and more
visitors come as a families to enjoy an afternoon of entrainment. Nineteen
business helped sponsor the show. The Club is already thinking about the 2011
show.
Besides the flying demonstrations, the Club held a 50/50
drawing and a plane raffle at the end of the day. There were two candy drops
and door prizes for the younger children throughout the afternoon.
Food and drink for the day was provided by Holy Smoke which
