Yes, it's that time of year again when we all meet up at Ed Simpson's beautiful Camp Lake Airport to eat, talk airplanes, fly airplanes, eat, win prizes, fly young eagles, eat, socialize, and maybe eat a bite or two.For Saturday, we ask that everyone bring a meat dish to cook on the grill, a dish to pass (potato salad, beans, salad, fruit, any favorite) and a small lunch to tide you over until we get the grill going. Be sure to also bring a small table and chairs if you like to sit while you eat. Soda pop will be provided, iced to cool perfection. Also, be sure to bring your favorite dessert to be judged in the Eighth Annual Dessert Contest! The judges will personally see to it that each and every entry is judged fairly... and fairly often.
Stay overnight and camp out under the stars or under a wing. Can't make it on Saturday? Then come on out Sunday and delight in leftovers and Hangar Talk!
