What: Draachen Funk Fest: Flying, Evening Barbeque Picnic Party, Awards When: Saturday August 11, 2007. BBQ served 6PM.
Where: Cloud 9 Field, 11088 W. Coon Lake Road, Webberville, MI (aka Mowtown Towtown)
Cost: Picnic and Party is $10 donation, or no charge for pilots who fly or who bring a 70's era glider! Normal club aerotowing costs will apply.

Come to our Draachen Funk Fest to help us celebrate the DFSC's 11th season of flying in Michigan! In addition to regular afternoon aerotowing, we will be ground-skim scooter towing on Saturday evening at no charge for 70s gliders.

With a Motown funk theme, we will be celebrating over 30 years of funky music and hang gliding in the Detroit area. Bring your old 70's gliders, and dress funky! Get Up, Stay UP - Get Down, Motown!

We will also have flying-related awards, for:

Most spot landings in one day (2000' tow minimum)
Longest time aloft
Highest altitude
Most spectacular whack (without glider damage/injury)

Big Joe, our neighbor, will cater this event (like last year's Flug Tag). Saturday evening picnic/party will be held rain or shine (but the forecast is looking great). To help us plan for Joe's BBQ, please RSVP at 517.223.8683 or ">cloud9sa", "aol.com
