| August 2023 Fun Float Fly-In |
|
Following a two year hiatus, thanks to Covid 19, the Bulkley Valley RC Flyers Club would once again like to host a Fun Float Fly-In at the Hopper's Residence on Burns Lake.
August 2023 long weekend: Friday the 4th through Monday the 7th. Dry camping is available. Saturday night Pot Luck dinner. The To-Sink-It Fun Fly has been going for close to thirty years, and is currently hosted by Dave and Verna Hopper at their property on Burns Lake, east of the community of Burns Lake BC. The Hoppers have created a lovely park like area along the lake, with dock facilities and a picnic gazebo, and will be available to flyers on the first long weekend (civic holiday) in August. Dry camping is available. Club members take part, while others again come from distant points, and there is often an audience of locals, such as a senior citizen's' group. The scenery is beautiful and there are a wide variety of planes to be seen. The atmosphere of mutual assistance and appreciation is part of what makes the event so attractive. If the weather closes in, there will be a cluster of "experts" around any plane that has been having problems. Evenings find the pilots and families in the gazebo swapping stories of past successes and sometimes spectacular failures. For more info: Contact Dave Hopper: 250-692-6325 |
