I think the comment about the door prizes being rigged was tounge in
cheek - Think what was meant is that you didnt give out the door prizes
at the time specified in the the handout (between the second and third
chuckker (sp))...Kind of p-ssed a few people off who had to leave and
got tired of waiting for it to happen. Other than that the show was
great as usual - my fourth year there.
Had an uneventful run in the 61 A down and back with Terry Allen as
co-pilot. We missed our caravan on the way down by 10 mins. so we did
the round trip solo.
See ya next year.
