2011 Wooden Shoe Tulip Festivql Flights

The Iverson family welcomes Balloons to fly during their Tulip Festival again this year. The Festival dates are March 25th through My 1, 2011.

The launch field this year will be the grass field on the west side of the back parking lot (the "middle" grass field). With all the rain we have been experiencing the fields are VERY soft. Please avoid driving into the fields until they firm up. there is one field where corn was grown last year. Unless you want to donate your equipment as a display until later this summer, please be very careful in this area.

We are welcome to come fly weekdays and weekends. Current field conditions are posted daily on the Wooden Shoe Web Site WWW.WoodenShoe.com .

To ensure our good neighbor policy please follow these few rules:
1. Set up by backing your trailer to the edge of the field from the parking lot and avoiding driving in the field if possible. This will become increasingly important as the grass fields start to grow.
2. Consider the impact on the general public population when conducting your post-flight ceremonies. Location and use of adult beverages could cause problems if not used wisely.
3. Be friendly. Much goodwill happens when we chat with folks, pose for pictures, and offer tether rides. Promote our sport.
4. Leave only footprints. What you bring, goes home with you please.
5. Fly safe. Be respectful of landowners.

The flights are promoted by our club, but are a non-sponsored event. Let's set the stage for a fun filled 2011 flight season filled with lots of club fly outs.

See you all at the Wooden Shoe.
