09/25/10 - Smith Prairie Fly-in Bonfire - Prairie, Id. 2U0

Cancelled

Let's get a big crowd... September is awesome for flying here. This is a large airstrip and is quite accessible. If there are people that are planning to drive up and wish to bring things for everyone we could sure use wood, games (footballs frisbees etc.), awnings... we would greatly appreciate the help. Prairie Store is providing food for the bbq as well as rooms and extra camping on their grass if you wish. They have a monthly pilots breakfast on the first Saturday of every month, stop in and say hi sometime it's well worth the trip. We will have the Raven there, hope to see the rest of you.

I did not make it to Idaho last year and havn't been this year. Too busy building the Hobby Shop and keeping the grass short. I will do my best to do this one. What is best place to camp if flying in?

they've got a campsite on the eastern end of the runway.. we'll have the bonfire there. There are also rooms for rent for those not inclined to camp out. If you are real adventurous there is wonderful camping along the south fork of the boise.

Events to include STOL, Flour Drop, Fly-outs.

Food provided by prairie store... looking like burgers.. might do more with this depending on turnout. Please let me know if you are going to try to make it.. I'll be working on a dinner menu this week.

If anybody wants to drive up, it's a beautiful trip and easily accessed by all vehicles.

Gonna be Skywagonin' in parts west that week but maybe we'll see you around the neighborhood in the next couple of months. We're just getting to play time ourselves now. Plenty of camping and steelhead fishing to go though.
Have fun up there.

If you're not scarin' yourself, you're not scarin' the crowd!

Due to unforeseen circumstances we have to cancel the Fly-in. Hopefully we will be able to reschedule down the line. Thanks for your interest, sorry for any inconvenience.
