Due to the rain, the War Birds were unable to fly in.
The pilots club gave out two scholarships this year with some of the money we raised at last years' breakfast. Zack Hawk and Chip Mintchell were the scholarship winners.

The balloon fest was a success this year. We had two balloon glows, one Friday night and one Saturday night.
