I'll pass on the biscuits, but count me in on the punch...BTW who is going to be doing the fire dancing this year since Joe and Justin are not in town???

Hey Michael, can we do something like this at the Blue Grass?
Ron Ballard did this last year @ Winamac collecting $455.
He is also repeating the same effort this June.

"Hi Tim,
I am happy to announce that Wren Turbines USA will be hosting the Friday and Saturday meals for the pilots. This is at no cost to the club or pilots. There will be a donation box out for those that wish to donate to the WJM USA team.
Friday night will consist of BBQ chicken, jalepeno poppers and baked beans.
Saturday night will have on the menu....Steak, baked or cheesy potatoes and veggies.
Everyone participating is welcome to bring a side dish of their choice....to make it a family affair.
Wren Turbines USA is also donating a $300.00 certificate towards the purchase of a new Wren turbine.
Looking forward to seeing all of you in June."

Roger,

I think a good idea would be having a donation bucket at the announcer/ T-shirt table for anyone who would like to help the WJM team and will announce it through out the day. Maybe this will generate some activity from our local crowd that might want to help contribute. Please someone from the WJM team over see and keep up with the funds collected with the girls or guys at the table. This is a great idea and worthy cause. Pilots please help if you can.
The Sat. night Pig Roast and Blue Grass Picking sesion is sponsored by AMT USA, Dads Toys,Jet Cenrtral, Mike's Tint Shop, Spantech Conveyors USA LLC. and the pilots that have supported the event. I do not want funds to be collected at the Sat. night party because the sponsors and the pilots deserve that recognition.
Thanks
Mike Kirby

Roger,
Look forward to seeing you again back in BG! Tell Jimbo & Sharon we are saving them a spot! Flying has been great at SKYMAC this memorial day weekend, even had a wedding yesterday on the runway! One of our club members flew in with 2 J-3 Cubs, tied the knot and partied the night away! See, you never know what to expect at SKYMAC!

"T minus 3 days and counting, see you all here!!!"

Pilots have already started to show up at this years 2008 Blue Grass Jet Jam. This year should be a record number of pilots for BGJJ. Today is a little cloudy in the mouring clearing after lunch and a great forcast for the weekend. Also thanks for the vendors that have decided to setup at the event . I have had quite a few calls to see if there would be any turbine mfg. at the Blue Grass. I told them yes AMT USA and Jet Central. It looks like our jet hobby is ready for a banner growth due to the number of calls about what a spectator might be able to purchase or get advise on what products are availible and what works.
Again thanks for the support of the sponsors taking care of the Pilot Tents AMT USA ( JOHN LIGONS) AND JET CENTRAL ( ERIC CLAPP). This would have not happened if these guys had not stepped up.
The next group is Spantech LLC Conveyor Co. , Dads Toys, and Mike's Tint Shop for sponsoring the Saturday Night music provided by RAGLEN HILL and freinds a great Blue grass band from our area.
Split Tree BBQ for prepairing and smoking the whole pig for Sat Night meal. Split Tree has a BBQ pit that can smoke 8 whole hogs at one time.( "Come On", "Where Ya At", "Who You With", and the lattest one liner "I Got The Floor". I hope you guys can make it .
Thanks everyone for your support,
Mike Kirby

Spantech Conveyors, thats to funny, I've been getting quotes from them here recently for some conveyor needs in the 6 figure range. Are they r/c flyers or a local business recruit?
