Arrive early if you wish (9:30 am) to volunteer as a shuttle driver or help cook and set up.  Serving lunch from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm.   Planes will be parked at the north end of the runway (grass) so you will need to bring your own tie-downs and stakes\, if needed.  Combined lunch with the Southwest Bonanza Society group\, so expect to see some V-tails.
