Default North East RV Fly-In?

I would like to organize an RV fly-in for the spring (maybe May) of 2008. It would most likely be held at Bloomsburg municipal (N13). Some of my thoughts for the event:

- 2 day event
- Pig roast one day
- Burgers and dogs another day
- RV flying events - Proficiency race/Efficiency race/Dawn patrol
- Camp on the field/Reserve a block of rooms at a local hotel

I will do my best to make this happen if I receive enough response. Soooo.....If you are interested in attending such a gathering, please let me know.

I would love to see a group of RV's in Pa. I live about an hour and a half from Bloomsburg and would definitely make the trip north for a get together.

Jim,

Sounds like a good idea. We had a one day RV get together last summer in Warrenton, VA and had a great turnout. I'll be there.

Set a date - I'll be there! I'll put in for some leave if need be.

Unfortunately I'll be driving, not flying, but I'll still be there.

I'd love to fly up to my home state of PA again. I just can't seem to find a good, authentic Italian pizza shop down south! (hey gary, I grew up in the H-town area and went to Lower Dauphin HS. Jo Jo Pizza on the square mmmmmmm) If the timing is right, I will be there.

Default Thanks

Thanks to everyone for the response, and for all of the offers to help. If I can get this thing pulled together, I will definitely be taking some of you up on your offer.

Our airport commission will be asking the town council for approval for this event at the next commission meeting, which is presently scheduled for February 6th. If we get their blessing, I will set a date for the first (annual?) "Susquehanna Valley RV Gathering".
