The grass will be freshly mowed (typically it is freshly cut by each Saturday morning in the summer season) and you can fly anything off of it (even little itsy, bitty, tiny, delicate, foamy-style landing gear)!  It is so smooth even our VP (George) can fly foamies off of it (though he typically lands wherever he darn well feels lilke)!

Agreed 100%!  Fine weather and the food, fun, flying and fellowship were 
great!  One could say it was a 5F event ;)

Although apparently some folks at the field were chartreuse with envy 
over my riding gear...  Hey, at least I know I'll be warm, dry and visible!

See you @ Hal Horton on Saturday!  Bring an appetite, some friends and 
something to fly (if you're so inclined - kites, gliders, frisbees, and 
aerial R/C vehicles of all types welcome).
