Buzzard Droppings May 2003

I have received an email from the cub scouts asking if we would consider having another flying event with them on Saturday, May 24. For those who participated in this event last year, it seemed like lots of fun for everyone. We have a write-up on our web site ( http://www.barnyard-buzzards.com/Gallery/). I did invite the scouts out to our field. There will be about 30 visitors. If you have the time that Saturday and can help out, please let me know. We will fly using the buddy box, and cook hots and hamburgs—free to all who want to come.
