Mix in a great day, great food, great friends and great planes. Cook over a smokin' Bar-B-Q grill. Voila; you have the recipe for one fantastic picnic!
Attendance was wonderful and the food was delish. Thanks again to Kevin, JoAnn and all the others who made this year's picnic at Clow such a success! Upon being congratulated via email, Kevin had this to say:
"I sure as hell can’t accept all of the credit. There were a lot of people that helped make this year’s picnic a success. Thanks to Jude, Christine and Dee for bringing their special side dishes. Thanks to Mick and Jude for donating their hangar space, refrigerator, and their help with everything. Thanks to Ken Graham for stepping in and cooking, serving, and plus a whole lot more. Thanks to everybody that helped with the setup and teardown. Thanks to Ken, Larry, and Phil for giving rides to those of us less fortunate ;-)) And I can’t forget my JoAnn; she helped me every step of the way. It’s amazing to me that there are so many members that just step in to assist without hesitation. That’s the spirit of FVFC that I love so much!"
