Hopefully a little more biodegradable than plastic bags for the ones that get away. (I can mail you some if you need it.) <br /><br />And just a thought: how about small dog treats/food in the paper? That way our furry friends might help clean up the beach/launch area. Calling all dogs to the Festival!! (Bob would like that.)<br /><br />I'd love to be there, but I am busily getting our house ready to market so I can come home for good. I'll be with you in spirit. <br /><br />Joy, buoyant flights, and happy memories to the HPA!sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03062704709975780035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-58243357283241251302011-04-27T14:20:42.830-10:002011-04-27T14:20:42.830-10:00Wow, I am so impressed.

I think the ballon will be hard if there is wind... Also, Thom has a special landing target that is very appropriate for the day (surprise) ;)<br />we could organize a little race, lets say 3 laps around a triangle course.... prizes for the farthest flight, longest flight and such... if you have any ideas/suggestions please share with us/Reapper.<br /><br />we should also mention that we will have a flower / lei drop and everybody is welcome and encouraged to bring flowers. we will try to fly friends and family tandems and we will have grills going hot so anybody can bring something to cook there!<br />please bring your surfboards, SUPs, kayaks and jet skis to keep kids (of all ages) occupied.<br /><br />it is going to be a great fun event where everybody can participate! let's invite the hangies and pilots from other islands or mainland, and yes, let's remember all of our friends that loved the sport of flying and now are in higher altitudes! <br /><br />See you there, Aloha!<br /><br />Brazilian RayBrazilian Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436342581028804698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-59243317361759325712011-04-27T08:25:32.662-10:002011-04-27T08:25:32.662-10:00Pete let's get this together this week coming....Pete let's get this together this week coming.<br /><br />Alex brought up good point that we may not be the only people on beach and dropping flour on beach goers may not be good so dropping them on launch area might be better.Thomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07508629374134042936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-47989689332831936732011-04-27T08:18:19.164-10:002011-04-27T08:18:19.164-10:00Oh and we're gonna have some fun.
