Nine contestants and many spectators showed up for the annual Turkey Fun Fly on Saturday after Thanksgiving. After three events, the points were tallied and Brad Weissenfels took 1st place followed by Lanny Hansen with 2nd and Joe Pirozzoli with 3rd in the expert category. In the novice category, Sam Sandoval took 1st, followed by Marv White with 2nd, and JD LaVasseur with 3rd. Ribbons were handed out for the top three positions plus a special Gold Plastic Cup was awarded to Sam Sandoval for getting the highest points in all three events. During the competition, we had a light cross wind; however just minutes after we opened the field to all, a squall came through and took out at least one plane.
Thanks to all who attended.
