Well, another RV Social is history. Everyone seemed to have the usual good time, and for the 8th straight year, we got great weather. The name tag system says we had 500+ guests, which is normal. The Beer Fairy drank her fill, and has gone back to the basement until next year.
For what it's worth, the location and refreshments are not free. Please thank the folks at Gallagher Insurance, and your ten faithful sponsors. Here's the honor roll:
Barrett Precision Engines (Rhonda and Alan)
Continental/Titan (JB)
Delta Pop Aviation (Don)
Flightlines (Tom)
Flyboy/Team Rocket (Vince and Blake)
JD Air (Darwin)
Kitplanes Magazine (Paul)
Lycoming/Thunderbolt (Jeff)
SteinAir (Stein and the Gang)
TruTrak (Andrew)

It seems that draft beer systems are like Lycoming oil systems, in that not everyone understands how they work. We had eleven kegs spit between two wagons, with two taps per wagon, one keg per tap. When a keg runs dry,
I need to change the tap to another keg. Hey, I'm not hard to find. It seems this year when two taps ran dry at the same time, some folks got the idea that the beer had run out, and left. As a result, at the end we had an extra keg. Cry not, as I'm sure the Gallagher gang used it Wednesday evening. Still, a shame that some paid five bucks a beer at SOS, when beer was free at the party.
