On Tuesday there were two. Robert Lyndon did Stages 5 & 6 and Arnold A. Lampel did Stages 6 & 7 of their AFF Courses.

The fun jumpers here were enough to get Marj up for a couple of loads.

We had a family of tandems arrive on Wednesday. Taylor, Theresa, and Cortney Cameron all took to the skies.

Arnold A. Lampel did his Stage 8 and Rob Lyndon did Stages 7, 8 & 9 – finishing his Course! On ya Rob.

On Friday Bubba was here with his Canopy Handling seminar Hop ‘n’ Poppers. They got stuck into it after the fog lifted and did about 7 loads. Drew McDade was back for Stage 4 AFF. Numbers swelled in the afternoon and the Sausage Sizzle was a hit again.
