Hi Jim;
The Ice-O-Lated contest is usually held on the last Sunday in February. It was held on the wrong date last year due to an error looking at the calendar. The Lafayette Esquadrille usually finalizes it's contest schedule for next year at the November and/or December club meetings, and as soon as all is squared away, we'll get something announced. We don't do too much to promote this contest, due to the REAL high possibility that weather will get in the way. We've been snowed out, rained out, blown out, and flooded out over the years, but we have also had it where we were flying in T-shirts under beautiful clear skies watching the bald eagles fly!
We know and realize that it's a gamble for anyone to come from out of town, but have had some surprising large turn outs for it, and on the flip side, like last year, only had a few people show and only one or two flights put up. It's held mainly for fun and if the weather cooperates it is a lot of fun and a good way to get rid of some cabin fever. Stay tuned for further information as it becomes available.
Type at you later,
Dan McEntee
