2nd Annual Midwest Weasel Fest

Owing to the temporarily unavailable Weasel this year’s event will be called Midwest Whatever Fest! We will still remain true to the Weasel Heritage with some events aimed at Weasels and other like sized planes but this is really an event that is all about getting together and fun at the slope.

The Dates are April 25-26, 2009

Weasels, Wings, PSS, ODRs, Crunchies, Foamies, Scale-ys, F3?s, Whatever slopers ya got! Do plan on bringing something to fly that goes well with Weasel on the menu.

Since Weasels are still not available, we’re making a slight change. Love to keep it Weasel-centric, but hey… come run what ya brung! We hope to have a host of fun fly events, looking forward to the usual Weasel antics, a combat event, perhaps even some races. Stay tuned to this thread for further details.

What: Weasel Fest-Style Fun Fly – welcoming all Weasel friendly foamies. Other events will include other slopers, schedule to be announced.

Who: Friendly slopers with a sense of humor.

When: April 25-26, 2009

Where: The Headquarters hill will be the AstroWings Slope Site at Omega Hills. We may have other events in/around Milwaukee.

How: Build sloper, come to Milwaukee, throw plane into wind. Smile.

Why: Seriously? If this is a question you have two options. 1) Stay home and obsess over your MySpace page, or 2) come and find out. I recommend the second option.
