Hey Flyers,

Don’t forget that this Saturday starting at 8am is our annual Fun Fly.

Don’t forget that it is also a silent auction and swap meet.

For Maximum Fun:

Bring yourself, your family, and your friends.
Bring some planes to fly
Bring some $$ so you can buy some planes
Bring some planes that you want to sell
Bring a lawn chair

We still need a few volunteers, let me know if you can help.

September 7 – Clay County Parks and Recreation “Airplane Adventures” will be held at our field. The kids will hear stories from the Library and build paper/balsa planes to fly. CCF will be providing static and flight demonstrations of planes and rockets. Please bring your coolest/biggest/loudest plane to fly. The kids will mostly be at the picnic tables so there should be minimal disruptions to normal flying. This is the first time the county has does this so we don’t know how many kids to expect.

The following events are coming up and additional details will be published.

September 7th – Clay County Library/Parks and Recreation Kids Event
October 5 – CCF Fun Fly
Oct 12 – Weather Backup – CCF Fun Fly

The swap meet has been moved from 03/23 to 03/30 due to weather.
