Life After Oshkosh, in Louisiana

1st Annual Paragon Festival of Flight: August 16

We got a note just after we got home from Oshkosh, that said, "Here's some info on a really cool centennial fly-in we're having here in Louisiana. If you can get the word out, that would be great."

Looks good to us -- have a look at this one, and tell us how much fun you had!

Well we've been off for our heat break and now it's time to crank the Louisiana Centennial of Flight Fly-in Series up again. The next event will be another event organized by Chapter 614 (yes, a total of 3 this year) and this one will be unique. Yes, I do know it is still hot so this next event is going to be mostly indoors and a great one to involve the spouses or significant others.

Here are the details:

1st Annual Paragon Festival of Flight
It's Saturday, Aug 16, 2003, in Marksville (LA). There's going to be a Cajun Band at the airport, a shuttle to the casino, 6 awards, free Fly-In T shirts to first 100 registrants, and free buffets for the first 75 pilots and spouses who fly in and register

There's a nearby championship golf course (in case you want to stay an extra day), a beautiful swimming pool, kid care available, forums of all types.

For EAA members and spouses (or friends), there's a special awards banquet and party Saturday night, with many nice door prizes; and we'll feature the nationally know "Boogie Kings."

Our goals: celebrating the centennial, giving the public an up-close view at sport aviation, and increasing enthusiasm in the aviation community. The best thing you can do to help us achieve those goals is to be there!

Current sponsors include Aircraft Spruce and Specialty Co., Rans Aircraft, Van's Aircraft, Angel Flight, EAA, Lancair and Exxon. More are on the way and additional sponsors are always welcome.
